Sorry everyone. I made the first mistake of blindly responding to the sender about the new website and the existing CC list. That reply practise is generally helpful when list messages are delayed then at least the individuals in the thread receive them quickly. Others had followed the same practise leading to duplication of messages on a few lists. I corrected my error after my second reply mistake. I subscribe to different lists with different addresses, consequently, replying to multiple lists would sometimes fail for me in any case. Subsequent to second reply about the new website, I have tried to carefully check the CCs to be certain I only answered to individuals and the one relevant list. I had intended to post a message about the general inappropriateness of sending a message to multiple lists on Monday with my own apology but I forgot. The discussion has involved elements relevant to users, development, and translation but where we have topic specific lists such as koha-translate or limited function lists such as koha-announce those specific topics and limited functions should be respected. The discussion of the new website should certainly not have happened on Koha announce even if I think that the original announcement was premature. Subsequent discussion of the new website on koha-translate should be confined to translation problems for the new website. We should all try to confine our discussion to one topically appropriate list at a time. We should also change the subject of discussion threads to one relevant to the particular subject being discussed as some have done.
