Warning about misuse of Rietveld list !

Several times people have addressed messages meant for individuals
to the whole Rietveld list. Most recently a large file was sent to all.

Although this is no doubt due to simple error, it can cause annoyance,
and in the case of large files, repeated error messages with repeated
copies of the large file sent back to me as list administrator !

Please be more careful, or I will remove offenders from the list :-)

Actually, I think such lists are old fashioned. It is much better to
use newsgroups, such as sci.techniques.xtallography, but not everyone
has access, or knows how to obtain access, and a Rietveld newsgroup
was actually voted down when it was proposed. BTW, past messages
to the crystallography newsgroup are on: http://www.ill.fr/dif/news/
