I think a perhaps little confusion has arisen between tanj (from Ringworld etc) and tanstaafl as they are a little similar. There ain't no justice.
Yes, as I pointed out a couple of days ago in reply to Sandra. You won't have seen Sandra's post, as it wasn't sent to the Lyst. It's a moot point whether it was my fault for not checking who that particular email was addressed to, or hers for not removing the [B7L] from the subject header, but I assumed it was a Lyst post and replied accordingly.
Fortunately this led to nothing more than me making a public admission of my own ignorance, but I can imagine circumstances in which something altogether more embarrassing might have leaked. I know a lot of offlist discussion goes on between certain Lysters, including a fair amount of backbiting in the current climate, so perhaps those who care to indulge in that sort of thing might like to make sure that their offlist posts are clearly marked as such.
Or maybe not, as I wouldn't mind something juicy plopping into my inbox:)

(I suppose it's only fitting that this public statement about private posting should have accidentally first been sent privately to Deborah, subject header and all.)
