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!
Angie
