Don She was referring to a past post in which one poster and spoken to another poster about saying thank you etc. It is/was nothing important. BUT you are correct. Taking emails off list can be a bad thing sometimes. We all strive for one word, one post, one itty-bitty item that will point us toward firm information....thus the reason for these mail lists. I'm a firm believer in open communication...its helped me enormously several times.

Some of those answers are connected to my family. When we answer off list I never know about that. Why do you encourage folks to answer off list? I can just easily delete a response that is not related to my family. I am eager to publicize all my family, why are you not?
