you're kidding, right?
 
you don't know a thread's private until nobody else replies.  as long as a third person jumps in, it's not private.  and sometimes on email lists, it takes a couple of days for the conversation to move along because not everyone checks or responds to their email every day.
 
I think you're the one getting bent out of shape.

Subject: A Compromise

You are getting all bent out of shape over the wrong conversation...I am
referring to a conversation about two or three weeks ago that was solely
between two people and it involved over 70 posts to the List.

As for V...I do not recall her ever taking part in a two person conversation
on the List...she would be the first one to take it off the List.

You are missing the point...music related, Creed related, nonsense
related...if it interests many people and quite a few listers are taking part
in the thread (as the one you were just talking about), then I have no
problem...its the 75 posts between two people that tick me off.

How about a compromise...when someone feels the absolute need to have a
private conversation on the List, and they feel that it would violate their
first amendment rights to take it off the List, how about just changing the
subject line to someting like "Private Conversation" and that way those of us
who are not interested can just delete the post without having to open it to
see what it's about.

While we are on the subject of subject lines...can we make an effort to
change it when the subject of the thread changes???

Does that sound fair to all???
