My first suggestion would be to specify a topic in the subject line of your
message as busy people - and that means most of us - simply delete untitled
messages without looking at them, as we do messages with subjects that
obviously don't interest us.

Specifying a subject will get you more responses. It is also part of the
courtesy that should be observed in participating in a very active list such
as MUSEUM-L.
