[Air-L] Change of default reply setting on air-l

[McLaughlin, Lisa M. Dr.]

I'm curious as to what was the process by which the executive committee sought input from AoIR members. Please will someone clarify how this (and other decisions) are taken (hopefully as democratically as possible). I'm fairly new to AoIR.

Regards,

Lisa

I'm totally agree with Jeremy. This desicion may kill the whole idea. It's
strange to see that people, studying Computer Mediated Communications don't
understand how crucial such changes in settings may be to the communication
and community in general.
Please, change your mind and revert this setting back.
Best wishes,
Alexander.
