Please pardon the interruption, but I think this would be a good time
for a refresher course in the FAQ:
* WHEN SHOULD I RESPOND TO FFML POSTS BY PRIVATE MAIL?
To keep list traffic at a manageable level, certain types of responses
are almost always better sent privately:
- Answers to questions, unless you really think your reply contains
information beneficial to the list at large. Remember, if the
answer to a question is obvious to you, chances are it's obvious
to a lot of other subscribers. The person who posed the question
might deserve to have his or her mailbox filled with hundreds of
replies, but the rest of the list certainly doesn't. So please,
send your reply privately. In particular, survey questions (e.g.
"What is your favorite anime?") MUST be answered privately.
