Re: [LM_NET] GEN: Target and Hit discussion

[Dan Robinson <infomaven@PATMEDIA.NET>]

Vicki, 

The whole point of the TARGET/HIT idea is to send the HITS to the list, so 
everyone knows what the end result is.  The bits and pieces of the Target 
are supposed to go only to the original poster, who then compiles the HIT, 
and sends it to the list. 

#15 from the LM_NET website: <http://www.eduref.org/lm_net/eti.html>
Requests for information: LM_NET has developed a policy of sending 
information privately to the requester. The requester then summarizes to 
the list. This can cut down on traffic, but it tends to reduce the "give 
and take" that some lists value. See the LM_NET TARGET/HIT-- information 
for the LM_NET policy, in the "Welcome to LM_NET" message you received.  
(And how many still have that message? <grin>. But Peter has been posting 
the information regularly.)

I have noticed more bits and pieces coming to the list with the note that 
the original send was blocked, but the original idea remains. 

This is also a good time to note that the HIT should be pasted into the 
email, since LM_NET doesn't accept attachments.
