[Pil-pc-oceania] Thread off-posting (Jed)

[Deb Guildner]

Dear Jed,

I have tried without success to respond to you but the email bounced -
despite hitting the reply button above YOUR email.

God forbid I should have to go and do a course in 'competent email
software"....I am already up to my neck in desktop publishing studies, which
I prefer,  for now.

Re postings to the list, is it not sufficient that the subject heading is
correct - I thought that was the whole idea of subject lines, so that you
know what you are reading!!   I am fairly rational but the technology may 
not be!

AS no one else has reported any like 'problems' during several years of 
emailing networks,
I am not sure that this problem is worth stressing over  My methods are 
somewhat habitual;
so perhaps you will find a few more emails that do not suit your software's 
filing system.....

BTW, the propaganda was ABARE's, and the govt grants the 'musings': they are
silly enough to think that if they offer cash grants, some of the land
management brains trust might apply and better spread their knowledge.

I post across several lists regarding multiple issues, the PC list is one.
There is more balanced reporting of environment isues in the media now than 
ever.

Cheers
Deb
