Sandra The default "reply" on this e-mail list is set to return an answer to the actual original poster, not to the list itself. It is the only e-mail list that I'm subscribed to that does this. On all of the other lists to which I belong, clicking on "reply" sends your response to the list itself. To get a response to actually go [PaOldC], one must use "Reply All". You may recall that this has happened to me on several occasions when I've responded to posts you sent to the list. In fact, it just happened to me again and I had to delete that reply and start over again. And I'm very aware of the default setting. ;>) I'm sure that most, and maybe all, of those people who responded directly to that list member didn't do so deliberately. They simply didn't realize that they weren't posting to the list.

To these people's especially and everyone in general, I would like to remind all that the purpose of these lists is for those with common interests to get together and share information, emphasis being on the word share. Who knows what other list members could benefit from what you know if you don't post it to the list? If you are shy about posting, for some reason, then send it to me and I'll be more than happy to pass it along. I already do this for several folks and will gladly do it for others.... Just let me know. Your reasons don't matter and are your own..... Just send me the data...... no questions asked..... and I'll take care of it from there. Cheers!

I thought that I had done something wrong when subscribing - I am on a lot of lists and this is the only one where REPLY goes to the individual. And with REPLY ALL the email of the individual who sent the post still comes up along with PaOldCh so you have to delete that person before you send or it goes both places. Can it be reset? Liane

To me, it makes perfect sense to be set up this way: if you only want to contact the person who sent the post, you select REPLY: if you wish your email to go to everyone you select REPLY ALL....... What could be easier? I have belonged to several lists that used this method and much preferred it. That's why I chose it when I set up this list. I clearly discuss it in the Welcome Email that everyone gets when they join and believe it is the best setup, making it easy to contact either ONLY the poster or the whole list. All list adms. do things as they believe best, which I'm sure you'll understand.
