PLEASE I really don't think you know how much time it takes for the rest of us to interrupt what we are doing to check out the high volume of personal communication between a few individuals. THERE IS A SOLUTION If you would identify those individuals that you want to have on the "party" line, you need only list them all once in the Address area of your message. Thereafter, answer using the "reply all" button instead of using the list for a personal hot line. We are not saying you should not talk to your friends - only, be considerate of the rest of us.
