Subject: [QUEBEC] QUEBEC- Responding to List
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 16:04:43 -0400

>>>>>>>Hi fellow listers,
Am I the only one wishing more responses were posted to the list vs
direct to the one who made the query? There's always more to learn re
the ins & outs of Quebec genealogy & I, for one, like to use this list
as a learning tool.....a lot of good info goes by......the specific
names or places may not be applicable for me but the various 'clues' are
great! I often watch for a reply to a particular post & nothing appears
on the list, tho' I suspect many have responded. I'm wondering if folks
might ask themselves whether their response is of a general enough
nature it might be of interest / use to others as well & if so would
they post to list as well as the poster.......perhaps I'm the only one
who'd like to see this happen......or are there others? perhaps our
listowner could give us some guidance on this, as well....Martha<<<<<<<<

Hi,
.........I copied the entire letter, because it says it all. Yes, Martha, I do agree with you, and am as guilty as the next person about responding directly to the person who is involved with my replies and further info. But, I know what you mean about others missing out on the information which may give them leads and hints--also stuff they might use themselves. Not sure how we can circumvent this problem....maybe just if people would post some of their initial reply, so that their address would be there for anyone interested in contacting them to use...The entire correspondence wouldn't have to be sent to the list after that.
