Dear all, not wanting to unnecessarily prolong or widen this issue, the following reply to another list to which I subscribe gives a perspective that I have not previously seen. Perhaps our administrator would like to comment. We are not having the difficulties at this other list that we seem to be having here. Best wishes Bill. Marie It is not up to rootsweb how messages are replied to. This is a matter for the list owner. I am a list owner myself and have set things up such that replying to messages go to the list. Other list owners set things up such that replying to messages go only to the original sender. It is the list owners decision and not rootsweb.
