Re: Devient& Tom M.

In a message dated 96-07-01 08:17:57 EDT, you write:

<< 	These calls are usually made publically so that
 everyone on the lists knows that some one has already made
 the request and thus making sure that the people so requested
 don't get their mailboxes flooded with private requests.
 	Really, which would you rather see, Thomas?  One
 public call for a private discussion, or about 25 private ones -
 most of which would have shown up after the conversation ended
 or had already been moved to private?  Personally, I'd rather
 see the public - it makes for less e-mail to flush from the
 INBOX. >>

I don't know about him, but _I'm_ certainly tired of seeing all these private
comments on the list.
