[57north-discuss] Mailing list etiquette (was: BCS Site Visit: University of Aberdeen Data Centre)

[Carl Anderson]

If it is *only* for important announcements it should be restricted to
those who have the power to reply, which is why I suggested the reply to
field be changed to discuss list. This was poo-pooed and not implemented so
as per my previous email 'tough titties'. Not everyone will be enlightened
enough to have been briefed with your email etiquette guide/have a stick up
their ass guide.
Thanks, Carl
