RE: [FW1] Use of this list
I've been on this mailing list off and on since 1997 and the same questions
come up over and over. It's just the way it is. Even when they're shared.
Probably because it's more practical to ask on the active list than to
search the archives. The list provides an interactive forum and I think
people, especially new administrators, are more comfortable with that than
searching through old messages.

Subject: [FW1] Use of this list
I have noticed in my own interactions with this list that many people tend
to respond privately to questions or otherwise that are posted.
I am sure that I am not the only one who views relevant questions from
others and look for responses to those questions.
If the responses are private, this must surely lead to the same questions
being asked over and over.
Else the dreaded "me too!" posts where multiple emails in response to the
original get posted so that anyone who can help will respond to all
interested parties.
If something has not been covered in the archives, then surely the best for
all concerned is that responses should go to the list until it is pertinent
to take the dialog offlist?
I do however understand that some people will not want to respond
publically regardless.
Any comments?
Paul Murphy.
