Just a simple off topic but list related comment: The message headers in postings from this list seem to encourage off list responses since the list address only appears in the "To" header. The normal action when responding (at least by the uninitiated) is to simply reply which in many cases sends the response to the address in the "Reply-to" header if any or to the address in the "From" header. The address of this list is not in either of these headers. I'm sure there are many more responses to postings than I am seeing. This makes it difficult for "lurkers" to learn from the experience of others. -- Jim

I am suscribed to about 20 lists and in all cases I try to remember when I reply to use the reply to all option of my mail system. This does not always happen because the button for me (yahoo web mail) is not default and is in a pull down menu. John
