RE: [Zope] Split the list again?
I posted mine at 17:16 (local time), received your reply at 17:31, fifteen minutes. That's not bad if the response to a query is good. :-) If speed is essential, nothing is stopping you from cc:ing to the person you're conversing with. -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "`Ford, you're turning into a penguin.

Non-fiddling with Reply-To is, imho, more harmful than not. How? Well, for every follow-up I get, I also get one explicitly directed to my email address, because people hit "Reply to all" and instead of having their follow-up sent to just "zope@zope.org", they send it to "alex@mop.no; zope@zope.org". Needless to say, for every follow-up I get _two_ emails.
I have to say I find that very convenient. Often I'm on lists that take ten to thirty MINUTES (an ETERNITY!) to deliver a message to me via the list. The courtesy copy gets to me in a second or two, which is really handy when I have a problem stopping further progress. As a test, I haven't CC'd you, and I replied immediately upon receiving you email. Now you can let me know how slow the Zope lists are.

See, my round-trip time was 30 minutes. That's nasty. Another benefit of the dual-delivery system is the very filtering you talked about. Zope stuff gets filtered into a box and I read it in bulk a few times a day. But stuff I'm directly involved in I want to deal with immediately. If it's delivered to me directly, it doesn't get filtered and it gets my attention right away. Otherwise, there is a good chance I will miss it entirely. The present system works out well for me. I hit reply, and I'm asked, "Reply to all?" If I say no, it goes only to the person in question. If I say yes, it also goes to the list. The only time it's inconvenient is when I'm replying to YOU, because I know you only want it to go to the list! ;-) Anyhow, my vote is to stay with the current system, and with that I will stop polluting the list with, except to suggest "zope-list-list", a list for discussing zope lists. ;-) Mike. -- --- | Mike Pelletier | Paid to be a geek! /opeware! | mike@zopeware.com | You'd have to hire KryoTech --- | ICQ:7127228 | To get much cooler. http://www.zopeware.com | (519)725-7710 | -Haiku by Retu Pmoc
