I'll beat Dan to the punch here. Some of you tweeters, probably new
subscribers who are used to other lists, don't realize that when you hit
the "reply" button in tweeters, your response goes out to the entire list,
rather than only the one you meant it for. So Ted was the only one who
*didn't* get your message, Jane! Although I'm sure the people to whom this
has happened have learned their lesson, it's worth spelling it out again.

I've been on tweeters for so long that my tendency is to make the opposite
error, of hitting "reply" to go to an entire list, then discovering (as I
never see my reply again) that it went only to the person who had sent in
the message to which I was responding. Ouch ouch, too much thinking
necessary!
