I am purposely sending this to the list so others see how I feel about the situation. I am one of the sellers that use this reflector. About once a month I post an ad for tubes or parts or equipment. I try to comply with the rules but being human and old, I forget because this reflector is different from the others I subscribe to. The other reflectors go only to the person posting the message when you hit "reply" . You have to hit "reply all" to post it to the reflector. Only this reflector does it go to the list when you hit "reply". It is a nuisance and pain in the a-- to have to cut and paste when a simple hit of "reply" should accomplish what you want. I will be happy to unsubscribe if you so indicate. There are a lot more reflectors to sell on, not to mention Ebay. Thank you. 73, Ed Richards K6UUZ
