Well they always say "WHAT CAN GO WRONG, USUALLY DOES"!! I thought when RootsWeb set up this list that it was set so that any response would go to the whole list. So much for my thinking. After the Email crash of the weekend, and trying to play catch-up yesterday, it finally hit me that this thing isn't working like it should. PLEASE NOTE: It's been fixed to send a response to the whole list. If you really mean for a message to be private then double-check to make sure that you are responding to the sender only. Most of the "Lists" are set up this way. Sorry for the problem and those introductions that came to me I will forward on to the list.
