Subject: Do not cross-post to the DSSSList From: XSL-List Owner <xsl-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 27 Mar 1998 15:44:39 -0500 (EST) |
Even for topics that will interest both XSL-List subscribers and DSSSList subscribers, it is generally a bad idea to cross-post to both the XSL-List and the DSSSList. If you cross-post to both lists, several hundred people will receive two copies of your message. If you're lucky, that will just confuse them; if you're unlucky, it will annoy them. When someone who is not on both lists attempts to reply to both lists (as has just happened), one of their replies will bounce, and now the other several hundred people who are not on both lists are missing out on part of the conversation. If you have something for both the XSL-List and the DSSSList, please be prepared to start parallel threads. It may be easy to start a thread by cross-posting to both lists, but doing so ends up inconveniencing a lot of people.
