Gary, the next time you put out the FAQ, do you think that, under the 
heading, "What is SPAM?", you could include a mention of replies to 
posts with comments similar to the one above, particularly when said 
replies actually repeat the lines about not starting a thread on the 
list?  (And yes, the preceding sentence does make sense.)

I dunno... I think we're going to need to hear from Tybalt on this one.
(No, I don't mean on your sentence. :-P )

I can think of circumstances where a public response (ONE, not twenty)
to a post would be necessary; for example, if the post contained false
information, and the poster refused to post a correction. No, I *don't*
think that Greg Sandborn's post was in this category, and I do think
people should have followed his request and not continued the thread,
especially since IMO most of them didn't have anything of significance
to add anyway.
