Jean, if you reply to the list, everyone can read it, including Thom, who is subscribed. (As a matter of fact, since you sent this to the list, he has already received a copy). But if 7 cousins each reply to Thom privately, then no one else will be the wiser other than the individual sender and the addressee. It shuts the rest of us out. The address to reply to the list is [email protected] My suggestion was that preliminary replies to Thom's query be addressed to the list so that we can see how many of you there are. But it's up to you.
