I think it depends upon what it is. Certain things like the 'info'
address I don't think should be sent to the list. The last thing we
need is 39 different responses from well-intentioned, though possibly
mis- or un-informed people all telling the requestor different things.
Bruce and I can pretty easily handle those types of requests, and if
both of us are going to be unavailable we can have the e-mail changed
to someone else like you or mwl temporarily.
