I'd like to add my appreciation for the explanations given, and as Kevin says, "the problem i've found as a list owner and | moderator is a lot of folks are simply too bone idol to think about it like | that. no offense meant to anyone in particular, but it's the truth! ..." I can understand the frustration being expressed here, but many of us do not take kindly to being told 'that's the rules, and do it because I say so.' A rational explanation influences me a great deal more than being spoken to in an officious and mildly offensive way. There should be rules of conduct for moderators? (smile) So, do not get me wrong, I am saying thanks to everyone who has explained the rationale behind starting a new subject as against merely using the original as a convenient way of getting the group email address into a message.
