Barb Patterson and group, I wonder if there is a way to set the list defaults so that the header's " Reply to" line is the writer rather the Parkinson's info exchange, That would make it so that when the reply button is hit posts would not automatically be posted to the list. It would take a deliberate and thought out response to post a reply and encourage direct responses. Just interposing that step hopefully will force a deliberate decision which may decrease volume of the "me to" responses without discouraging free interchange. Just a thought. Hope it is useful.
