In the set up of the list - I believe the list owner / moderator has the ability to set the "reply to" to be to the entire list or just to the individual. I am a member of about 5-6 Rootsweb Eastern Kentucky lists and some are set to reply to the person sending the post. Personally - I think it is just "jim dandy fine" that most all responses go to the entire list. It does take only a second to delete the ones you don't want. AND, most e-mail software - Outlook, Eudora, Netscape Messenger and others have "Filter" options. It is easy to have all mail from one source such as (KYMORGAN-L@roots.com) go directly to a folder created for that purpose instead of to the Inbox. Then all one has to do is review what goes into that folder and not have to "weed" them out of the general "Inbox". Just some thoughts, Joe Greene ***************************** "Terence L.
