The way Les set this up is if you hit reply, the email goes back only to the person. You have to click on "reply all" or whatever your mail provider calls it to get it to go to everyone. This is a fantstic community. Very diverse group of people who feel a real sense of closeness to each other. I think you will love it here, and be loved in return. Everything you aid below, you should put on the JMDL because it will get some good conversations going! I go back with Joni (as a fan only) to 1969... what a wonderful artist she is!
