Kris it depends on the 'reply' if the reply is
thanking someone for replying to their question
then there is no need to send it to the list as
all it does is clog up the list with a reply
that is intended for one person and not all list
members. - it will be off-topic - something is
also off topic if it has no relevance to the
list's purpose. eg; if its something about the
weather or a news event - they are usually
off-topic - Though some off-topics are allowed
but accompanied by a tip. (see rule 2)
Whereas if you're replying to a post with
another question or with something that will be
helpful to other list members it will be
on-topic and should be sent to thelist.
I have now deleted the post you sent that
started off this thread. So I can't remember
what the contents of your post was....
I would also like to draw your and everybody
elses attention to rule 5
<:> Rule 5: http://lists.evolt.org/index.cfm/a/listinfo
: When responding to a post, delete all
: information that is not strictly necessary.
: This includes the evolt.org tag line and .sig
: files.
: Delete anything you're not specifically
: responding to.

This is soo very important...
Please TRIM your posts
