Ahhhhhhhhhhh -- and now let's get to the point. Paula, at least, was talking about PRIVATE posts. I wasn't...but just this morning had another example of crossposting............ someone posted to this list (and the other list, I guess, too) asking for GSD judges who could do other breeds. Helen responded to that person, and to all the lists, too. My name was not included in Helen's response, and I sent her, PRIVATELY, a note that she'd omitted my name from her list. I was teasing, and I believe Helen knew it... BUT her response to me went to all the lists-- and that couldn't have happened by hitting "Reply All," which is bad enough, because I didn't send it to anyone but Helen. When her post hit the lists, though, for those who don't know me, or who are enemies, it could have looked like I was soliciting assignments...very embarrassing. Kinda makes you not want to talk at all...which, of course, is something neither you nor I will ever do, Evan... and I'm not even an attorney!!! Also, when I send a post to this list, I don't expect to find it being sent back to me by a Corgi person a few days later..................which has also happened. That's crossposting and/or forwarding...........and until someone gets slapped for it, they'll just continue to do it. People need to pay attention..............if they don't, eventually, SOMEONE gets in trouble!!!!!!!!!!111 Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: <ELG440@xxxxxxx> > > The problem I addressed was cross-posting, which takes a post meant for > only > 1,400 special people, and letting another group of 600 or so, read it.
