Having been a list administrator a few years ago using the Mailman software the Rootsweb uses for these lists, I know there is an easy fix that Rootsweb's list Adman can use (all it take is one check mark removed from one box and added to another) to reverse the setting. If a lot of frequent list users contacts the Admin requesting the change, they probably will change it. That change will also put an end to list members sometimes receiving 2 copies of replied to messages that they posted. I will look around on the list site to see if I can find the correct address to send those requests to and post them to these three lists, and I may volunteer to help with list Admin chores. When I was looking through the list of lists, I think I saw some that they needed help with.
