Exceptions could include: 1) we know the user has blocks on for private email or asks for list or private response only 2) the subject is personal or informal, and may not likely apply to many people, and probably does not need to go to 8 or 10 thousand people 3) perhaps we simply hit the wrong key and chose only to send to one of the three options when our intent was something different. I guess one should appreciate a response and not spend too much time thinking about the motive of the person who responds Most of us are not always consistent. I guess we could also ask why more of us do not use descriptive subject lines or why we don't always express ourselves clearly enough so that others can understand what we want and help. There probably is not one of us who could not learn to post better queries.
