Hello Polarian, > Firstly, please offlist if you are correcting someone
A public correction is sometimes the correct act. If X corrects Y wrongly then mailing X and Y offlist to explain leaves lurker Z believing the faulty correction. Also others who spot the mistake may either waste time also mailing X and Y or will still email the list. > I doubt Aaron wants to be publicly shamed in front of the entire > mailing list Shamed is an exaggeration. > A simple question has grown into a large thread. Which is now two bigger. I suggest not making it three. The OP was being mislead by the faulty correction. The thread should have stopped with that being corrected. -- Cheers, Ralph.
