weeks. I don't even like geting e-mails from my mother, so why
someone who I have never heard of before thinks I would welcome an
e-mail from then, instead o their responding to the appropriate
thread, I do not know. If you have a reply to me from a
rec.woodworking thread, then repy in that thread, so everyone can
read it, don't feel entitled to just send an e-mail. It ain't
polite, and I'm nothing if not polite. I will, of course, make
exceptions in appropriate circumstances, but no BS e-mails.
Especially, when the e-mail doesn't start out stating that it is by
e-mail only. Don't e-mail me, I'll e-mail you.

The way USENET worked originally was that someone posted, people
replied by email, and the original poster then put up a summary of the
emails. This was back when it was carried on Fidonet and the like and
propagation of messages might take a week or more.
