Please note that although I forwarded the message to the Fisher List, I was not the author. For some reason, the Gateway from the Message Board did not function correctly, which is why I became involved. I deliberately included the author's e-mail address in the forward, along with the URL for finding the original Message Board posting. We all generally just "reply" to whatever message is on the screen, since that is how we normally communicate on this List. However, it's important to realize that SOME of the messages are "gatewayed" to us from the corresponding surname Message Board. We receive the benefit of seeing messages posted about this surname, without needing to visit the web page. Some -- perhaps many -- of those who post messages there are NOT subscribers to this List. What we need to remember, then, is that if we want to be certain our message reaches the original poster, we must click on the link provided in the message that comes to the List. That will take us to the Message Board where the original message resides. At that point, we will be able to "reply" to the message, so that it "threads" itself into that series, and also it will be gatewayed to the List, thus coming back to us here.
