I've noticed that lately the list has been rather crowded with
messages to individual people that could probably go off list, such
as requests for information, etc.  Perhaps a rule of thumb could be
to ask "Would more than one person out of 1,000 be interested in
reading this, or is it meaningful to only one specific person?"
Comments?

Hi,

I have recently joined Museum-L and had a few questions about list
etiquette.  When should answers to questions be sent to the entire
list and when should they go privately?  I have been on lists that do
both and, while I prefer answering to the whole list, I will answer
privately if that is the way things work here.

Thanks!

Sarah
