I do not think that David Gregory was out of line when he commented on the
mail posted to this list. In the case of Harry Needham it was very
appropriate for Harry to post his retirement message on the list but the
personal responses to Harry's message should have been sent directly to
Harry, not the whole list. Even more offensive is when authors specifically
state, "reply off-list" and respondents on this list continue to post their
comments to the list rather than responding as the individual instructed.
There are many list-serves who "flame" their respondents for doing just
that. I think we should all exercise a little more e-mail etiquette.
