I'm also a member of a group discussing arcview (a GIS application from ESRI (www.esri.com)(arcview-l)). On this group one can ask for help on using arcview. If anyone can answer this request they send this to the person putting forth the question on his/her private e-mail adress. Then this person will SUM the answers for the group and post the sumary.
That method has a problem. If a new Linux user were to post a question here, and we were to reply by private email, then there would be no way for the original poster to know if he was getting the right information. On the other hand, by replying to the list, we can be certain that all messages will be reviewed by other list readers, and thus corrections made if needed. - v -- Victor R.
