Hi, Everyone . I've been out of touch with the list for awhile, and have been reading messages again today. I notice that there are quite a few missing response posts along message threads. I suspect this is the result of many list-members not using "Reply to All" when responding to mail list messages intended for everyone? Of course, it is the responder's choice to reply to only an individual, or to the list, or to both. But I just wanted to offer a reminder that our GV list is apparently set up to reply only to the author of the post. E.g. when we simply hit "Reply", our reply email goes only to one person -- the author of the message we are replying to. If we intend for everyone on the list to be able to read our response, we need to use "Reply to All" -- or we need to make a point to add "GER-VOLGA-L-rootsweb.com" to the address line of our message. I hope I've assessed this situation correctly . and I hoping everyone is having a good research summer .
