I regret this very >>much, personally, and don't post much anymore... kathrynne, [and bonnie, i presume] i'm sorry you regret the change from 'reply to sender' back to 'reply to list' - as you may remember, 'reply to list' was the standard since the list started late last year, some folks expressed concerned in re the amount of 'personal' messages so barb changed the list settings from 'reply to list' to 'reply to sender' as a trial run after three months or so at the beginning of this year due to much dissatisfaction expressed by many in re the resulting lack of 'exchange' barb changed the settings back to the original that 'list kefuffle' was the reason i thought L-Soft Inc.'s Topics Feature might assist in easing the non-pd message 'problem' the two main strengths of this list are 1. the communication and sharing [of all kinds] it affords, and 2. the message archives if a question is posted to the group and the answers to that question are posted privately i don't see how current [and future] listmembers can benefit such an 'exchange' seems almost 'one way' rather than 'two way' but that's just my opinion and my two cents' worth >>And it's fine to use usernames on the list, at least >>I sure hope so, there are enough peculiar restrictions >>already.... i'm confused by this i'm not sure what you mean by 'peculiar restrictions' janet list elf janet paterson 52 now / 41 dx / 37 onset e-mail - [log in to unmask] web-site - http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Village/6263/
