Bill; and all FLEMING researchers; I, too, share your frustration that many emails, some that would be of interest to others, go to one person. Most email software provides a choice, reply to sender or reply to all - a reply to all will send your information to the whole list, and perhaps generate more connections. Even if I don't connect, I enjoy reading the emails.
