interesting argument—if a rule is broken often enough, maybe it's unreasonable to expect people to follow it (even if you think it's a good rule)

Toot

Written by Ben Millwood on 2024-12-21 at 20:12

@dynomight my first reaction to this was "well, if it's so normative to not reply to emails, then why would you mind some person on the internet publishing that you didn't reply to their emails?" -- there are some obvious potential answers, but I think it's still good to notice the question

my second reaction was "hmm, maybe part of the problem is that with an 80% non-reply rate, being on the list is predominantly about having written a paper interesting enough to ask questions about, and less about how good you are at replying to emails"

maybe you should publish a list of people who did reply to your enquiries? but then again, part of me doesn't want to "reward" them with more emails...

@meblin That is a very good question! To be honest I'm not entirely sure of the answer. Can something be common and yet still not normative?
