Hi ladies, I am not the administrator for this list but I do run 4 other Rootsweb lists. I do not ever recall us having a "tool" where we can make a reply from someone's personal e-mail program go to the list. And sometimes there are posts where people want a personal reply rather than one to the list anyway.

Recently, the List Manager on one of the Rootsweb Lists that I subscribe to did a trial change so that the messages went to the sender. Members of the group complained and he changed it back so that when 'reply' is clicked, the messages now go to the List. I, too, am disappointed that we get questions only on this list. The list would be more beneficial if there were questions and answers. If someone wanted personal answers, they could request them in their message. I do not know how to be a list manager. Does anyone know how to be our List Mommy? SueBee
