[Businessmtg] Question on Reply/Reply All/Starting a New email

[ASP Secretary]

I think if someone is answering a question specifically asked of them, it
would be OK to reply, but with a new subject. (Like I did with Kristen)

I'm just thinking that the dominance of people trying to JADE would be good
to limit.

In addition, I think threading makes it difficult to figure out what is
going on. This current discussion is great, but there are things being
discussed in multiple places because of the crosstalk. It would be so much
easier to follow if every email was separate...and we would have a
clear(er) discussion. I'm not sure when the newcomers packets came into the
discussion, for instance...I only caught it because Jerry did a reply to
all and I had to read his email. :)

I still have some thinking to do on this issue...but those are my initial
thoughts.
