A reminder about Reply or Reply All
When a technical question is posed to the list AND you have information or
experience that directly pertains to the subject or question, hit Reply All
on you email program.  That way the information goes back to the entire
list.  That minimizes redundant responses and more important, puts the
answer in the archives where it can be found later by others.  If you just
hit Reply then the message only goes to the originator of the question.
That's great help for that individual but the info doesn't get shared.  If
you have a response that is NOT directly addressing the question then use
Reply, that sends your message to only the originator and keeps the list
traffic on topic.
I'm posting this because there have been several good responses to my
earlier question about 'What Should I See On The Temp Gage?' that came to me
only so they are not seen by others that might be trying to get answers to
the same question.
