This is compounded when we seem to get duplicated messages e.g. more than one copy of the same message reaching the list in succession and we've had a few of those at different times but not entirely sure why it happens. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Anyway Alistair and I are jiscmail 'owners' of the xerteforteachers list and although there hasn't been any notifications of people leaving over the last couple of days it's always something we're keen to avoid if possible as it's obviously one of the places where we can reach the less technical members of the community and reserve it for T&L related discussion, examples and of course relevant announcements. I keep a keen eye on that list in particular for this reason and sometimes contact people offlist and advise them to re-post to the more appropriate list or the community forums.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So just a note to ask please be careful when replying to all or posting to multiple lists and if appropriate remove the xerteforteachers list from the reply when cross-posting.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>HTH<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ron<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
