I am new to this list and very confused by it as well. The messages that I get do not have the NYOSWEGO in the subject line. I use the the subject line to sort my messages, it makes it much easier to stay on many lists. At this point I am probably going to have to give up this list, due to the fact that it is too time consuming to go through the message and figure out where it came from. This is a great service and I am always happy to participate, it is just due to my other obligations that this is my consideration at this point.
