Ginger, please go back and send the comment you sent me to the PADgo list. Others may also find it interesting. I was responding to a message originally posted to the list by Bill Katz on Saturday. He was responding to a message sent to the PADgo list by "michael d. mahaffrey" on Saturday. Sending your reply to the List is how message threads are established. To reply to the PADgo list when you get a message, use the "replay all" button. Then look at the addresses on the message. You should see the address for the list and probably the address for the person who sent the message. Personally, I delete the address of the individual. They are going to get a copy of the same message sent to them through the list. I am sending a copy of this to the PADgo list because I think others may also benefit from the same information. You should get a copy of this message from the list as well as one sent privately by me. Lists of this type work best when people respond to other messages through the list. The sharing of information helps everyone. All messages are stored in the list archives. Anybody can go to the archives and read the old messages. Who knows you might even find some information in the archives that you would find helpful. Marilyn CT P.S. Understandably, there are some exceptions. Sometimes common sense tells us the reply should be kept private. The rule of thumb I use is: If the information could help a number of people it goes to the list; personal comments are sent privately.
