Dear M., First things first. Do you know how to 'click and drag'? Sounds like something a cross-dressing doo-wop group would do. Second, if you read a post from the listserv, and would prefer to reply to just the sender, for example, you just delete the "To:" box, where it says "Parkinson's Information...", and replace it with just the senders own email address. So if you open this message, try doing that. Put [log in to unmask] in the "To:" window. You may even be able to click on my address as it is here. Sometimes an email program is set up to automatically open a new email with my address already inserted when you click on my address as it appears in this paragraph.
