Re: CCL:question of netiquette



I often respond directly to the poster because they are the ones
 interested; all of CCL does not need to see every reply. On topics that
 might be of more general interest, I ask the poster to summarize to the
 CCL. (Read: I am interested in the answer too.) The rules you specified
 would reverse if the poster decides to post a summary and therefore be
 difficult to apply. Furthermore, someone responding should expect to take
 ownership and responsibility of their statements. Legally, an email is no
 different than a mailed letter.
 A simpler rule would be:
 	Ownership of a statement is reported in summaries unless
 	the owner explicitly requests to remain anonymous.
