I went to a bit of effort to reply to an inquiry in a post here about Towing
a boat.

After giving the subject some good thought and committing it to an email to
the originator it rejected as a bad address.

I'm certain this has happened to everyone, but I'm to the point that I'm not
responding to any more inquiries because it is just a waste of my time and
effort.

Certainly I realize that it happens because people use incorrect addressees
to limit the amount of junk mail they get. But if you ask a question how do
you expect people to answer it?

Sometimes I reply on the news group rather than to an individual and often
the reply never gets posted.

We've got to figure a better way to communicate! Or just read what's posted
and not bother with a reply.

If I were in your shoes, I'd try to determine why my replies weren't
getting posted to the news group. Must be a problem somewhere. I have
experienced delays in posts showing up, but if they *never* show up,
then the problem has usually been my fault.

Putting your email address openly in the news group is asking for spam
and/or unwanted emails from others in the group.
