[svlug] Netiquette (was Re: Which Xubuntu?)

[Skip Evans]

I was a little surprised to get this. Usually what 
I do is hit Reply All, and then delete the 
personal email so the response just goes to the 
list, but sometimes I forget and it goes to both.

However, no one has every replied scolding me for 
it, so I figured it got taken care of somewhere.

I'll be more careful in the future.
