[Oe List ...] friendly reminder

[W. J.]

Colleagues, I'm happy to hear from all of you, but my emailbox has become clogged with personal messages that have to do with individual transactions or personal responses to other email on these lists. So I spend a lot of time scanning and deleting!

Please remember that you can respond to email senders by copying their email address and pasting it in place of the list address after you hit the REPLY button. If you do this judiciously, you will save the rest of us a lot of time. Not to mention making these list messages more valuable for those of us who yearn for more significant and deeply moving responses from those who do post.

One question that I ask myself is, 'Does everybody on this list really need to read this?' I wrote a very personal response to Beret and Ron, but I didn't send it out to the list. I simply thought it was unnecessary and perhaps intrusive.

Thanks for reading. Please don't respond to this message. It would just start another avalanche of comments.
