Good Morning!
It’s always been a pet peeve of mine when someone says to reply offline. If you have a response, chances are that more than one person would like to see your answer (me!), and moving the conversation off-line
seems to defeat the purpose of this listserv—sharing!
Also, many individuals responding saying “send it to me too”, clutters up the listserv where we could be having more of a conversation on a given topic.
My thoughts!

Subject: [RESADM-L] Requests for Offline Replies
Good afternoon,
After seeing a few “reply to me offline” postings recently, it seems that this deprives the group of the benefit of the answers that the membership may be interested in seeing. On the other hand, if you are answering a question and offering
to provide a checklist, link, reference, tool or other useful tidbit, perhaps you can provide your business email to which requests can be directed (instead of the “please send it to me too!” listserv posts).
I just had a few minutes between proposals and thought I’d toss this out to the listserv universe. Thoughts?

Happy Monday!
