Subject: MAPS-L: Requesting sheets/maps/info off list vs. on list

Greetings all,

A subscriber recently brought to my attention that many requests at Maps-L
ask for responses directly to them, off-list. The problem with the request
to reply off-list is that nobody else on the list knows if the request has
been filled.

I ask kindly that if you submit a request to Maps-L and want people to
respond off-list - that you be conscientious and let the list know as soon
as possible when the request has been filled.  If no one replies off or on
-list within a few days, feel free to resubmit your request.

I don't think there is anything wrong with asking people to respond
off-list. There are many lurkers who might be unwilling to reply to the
entire list as a whole, but who are willing to reply to an individual
off-list. The idea is to get the assistance you need and make sure that
maps-l subscribers aren't duplicating one another's' efforts.

Thoughts??

Thanks for your attention everyone!
