Yes indeed, but if you re-send private replies to a public forum, you are violating trust, and will subsequently never be trusted again.
But as you said, that is your choice
I said nothing at all about sending private messages to public fora! And I take offence at the implication. Where did you get the impression that I did?
I didn't say you would,
You certainly implied it, and I strongly resent that implication. I think what you did do was read somebody else's post containing an implication and you transferred that implication to me. I would ask you to read [non-technical content of] posts more carefully and think about what you're saying.
but I've seen it happen many many times with people who filter the way you do. It's always followed by a "woops, I didn't realize it was a private mail, I read it in my mailing list folder"
I'm hard pushed to see how you think one can reply a private email and accidently send it to a list except by specifically adding the list to the recipients? I don't see that the filtering method or storage location has anything to do with it at all. It requires very specific actions, not just accidently pressing some button. I do agree that replying privately when it should be to a list is a common problem that is easy to do accidently. Cheers, Dave PS Sorry to all that I'm so touchy about this subject, but I'd like to see reason and free thought prevail in this forum rather than prejudice, political correctness and sloppy thought.
