Ed-Tech mailing list members,
Please be courteous and use Reply when you are replying to an email to a message on a mailing list, rather than Reply All. The Reply All option sends a copy of your message back to the list, which redistributes the message to everyone on the list.
http://www.albion.com/netiquette/rule4.html says, in part:
Today, it's as easy to copy practically anyone on your mail as it is not to. And we sometimes find ourselves copying people almost out of habit. In general, this is rude. People have less time than ever today, precisely because they have so much information to absorb. Before you copy people on your messages, ask yourself whether they really need to know. If the answer is no, don't waste their time. If the answer is maybe, think twice before you hit the send key.
If your email client is set to use Reply All as the default, or you select Reply All for a message, it is your responsibility to check the "To:" field of your message before clicking on Send. Don't send the message to unnecessary recipients, please. And if it happens by mistake, we all understand, since we all make mistakes sometimes. No need to send "Sorry" to everyone. Think about what would happen if everyone replied "That's Ok." to the whole list. :-)
