Help is on the way: TARGET/HIT

["Rita Kaikow (Oceanside High School)" <K12OCKZR@VAXC.HOFSTRA.EDU>]

As a representative of the LM_NET Hospitality Committee,  I want to reassure
everyone that a vehicle is available to curtail what Marty is referring to.
It's not hard to do, but requires everyones cooperation.  The process is
TARGET/HIT:

Those sending out inquiries should be prepared and indicate them as TARGET?.
Responses to which are to go to them and them only.  They in turn should
compile and send the compilation to the entire list as a HIT.

One of the guidelines that Peter recently sent out included the following:

A reply to a TARGET --> inquiry should be sent to the one doing the initial
inquiry.  They in turn will compile the responses and send it to the entire
list as a HIT -->.  This helps to cut down on the email traffic and organize
messages accordingly.
