[Idag] Instructional Designer Position (Anne ArundelCommunityCollege)

Richard beat me to it - listserv software is meant for group communication, so when you hit "Reply" it automatically replies to the whole group. If you want to send a message to a specific person, you'll need to reply and then replace the "To" address with whomever you'd like to reply to individually.

For the comment regarding IDAG emails in your inbox: most email systems will allow you to setup a folder and then direct emails from a certain address to that folder - you could do that with the address "idag at marylanddla.org" and then all emails from that address would automatically be filed. That way you could check the folder when you had time to read through the communication. Just a suggestion!

Hi. I am going to step and answer this one.

My name is Richard Smith from Harford Community College. I am am member of MDLA, but  not a member of IDAG. But I own the hosting company that MDLA and IDAG uses. So I monitor traffic just in case.

Listserv software is frankly not "smart" enough to know which is private communication. If you reply to or send initial emails to the listserv email address they will go to everyone. And once they are sent you can't stop them The software is pretty limited.

You can also subscribe to the digest version of the listserv, so that you get smaller numbers of emails. But the Digest will still have all traffic inside of it.
