Subject: [MDOSPREY] Some Thoughts on MDOsprey


The Reply-To Issue

The current configuration (reply to sender) works quite well. If one uses
Outlook, it's just a matter of which button to click on - Reply or Reply to
All. Couldn't be simpler.

Stifling Discussion

I've been on MDOsprey for about 5 years I guess. In that time the only
threads I can recall being terminated were well beyond my tolerance level
before you stepped in. I think you show admirable restraint.

No Attachments Allowed

Speaking as an IT professional, this is still a good policy. In addition to
the threat of viruses, you are probably paying for space as well as
accounts, and attachments are what eat up space. Anything can be made
available to the community through offline contact. Truly good or
significant photos can be sent to that other Saunders person who runs a
pretty good web site herself, and can thereby be shared with this community.

Limiting Membership

You are assuming quite a cost for the good of the community as it is. How
could we ask for more? Really Norm, there must be a way we could spread the
cost at least some without you losing control of policy. I would certainly
contribute something annually "no strings attached" and I'm sure there are
others.

Deletion From the List

Non-issue to me. Hopefully it remains so! ;-)
