To add to Jeanette's message, my new computer should be delivered
tomorrow, and I should then be able to batch messages and cut down on the
traffic. -Marcia

SEREDIT@LIST.UVM.EDU Subject: Summarization & Replying to List
Just a note of appreciation for Terri Winchcombe's excellent summary of
issues surrounding serials CD-Roms, along with a belated "thank you" to
those of you who seconded my thoughts on replying to the list instead of to
each individual, personally.
I was gratified to see that response, have been gratified since to see the
discussions, am also seeing that even requests for title/issue specific
issues are being posted, which should cut down on duplicate postings. I
know when I asked for such information, I would get 30-40 responses saying
the same thing; this way we can see when others have responded.
Jeanette speaks out of both sides of her mouth: I am wanting to say if
everyone would summarize as adeptly and completely as Terri did, the "reply
personally" issue would be moot; OTOH we could read it in shorter chunks.
Anyway, thanks, all, for sharing. *That's* the bottom line.
