Suggesting use of a Forum was RE: People - please do not reply to "everyone".

HI all,
What was said,
As the list administrator I am puzzled by Justin's email. This list is a
forum and it is a place where people can ask questions about bulb related
topics.

To clear up your puzzle I only suggested a different type of Forum as merely something to discuss. The "reply all" is a very common mistake on this type of forum. While I don't mind it others don't seem to like it very much at all. There are other types of forums that are not email based and a default "reply all" is not a cause of grief and aggravation.
I have found that people are aggravated long before they actually vocalize a complaint. There is also, usually more than one person with the same complaint. To talk about possible solutions even if not acted upon, helps to show the person(s) who is/are aggravated, that someone at least acknowledges their frustration. Their even might be someone willing to offer up one or more different solutions.
