requests for copies

[Gordon, Peter]

We might need some clarification on replying to the individual's e-mail address and avoiding broadcasting responses.  On my system, which is outlook express, on the incoming message, I see on the header:
 
info-childes at google.com on behalf of Brian Macwhinney (or whoever posted the message)
 
It's not so obvious that you have to click on Brian's name to reveal the actual e-mail address which is hyperlinked.  It seems that to send just to Brian, you have to copy this address and create a new e-mail and paste this address onto it.  It does not seem that you can write to the individual by doing a "reply" and then just choosing Brian, because his name doesn't show up on the reply function, only on the incoming e-mail.   It's a bit ungainly, but doable if you figure that not everyone needs to see your response.
 
Hope this wasn't too confusing,
 
Peter

Dear Info-CHILDES,
  I would like to suggest a procedure for people who wish to request copies of articles.  There are two possible ways in which this can be done.  The first is fro the author to simply post the article directly on GoogleGroups.  You can do this by clickling on the "Files" button on the right of the GoogleGroups interface and then uploading your file directly.  Info-CHILDES is given 100MB of space and currently none of this is being used.  I had recommended this method to Marie Hoejholt, but I guess she did not want to make the article generally available.  If the author does not wish to post the article, it is, of course, fine for individuals to request  the article from the author.  However, when doing this, it is better to write directly to the author, rather than posting your message to the list.  If you look at the top of an email message, you will see the sender's address.  For example, Marie Hoejholt's email address is mariehojholt at stofanet.dk.
  Many thanks.

--Brian MacWhinney
