Please forgive me for butting in, but maybe you ought to learn a little bit about email lists and addresses yourself. Hitting the reply button to respond to any email sent to the list automatically sends your new email back to the list! In fact, I find it curious that you haven't noticed that email you may have supposed was going to Dan was getting mirrored right back to you as well... Umm, Dan's email address is not "powerbooks." The powerbooks address is the address to this list. If you hit reply to a message posted on powerbooks, your new email will go right back to powerbooks, not to ONLY the original sender! It is common netiquette for a poster to send an email to an entire list dealing with a topic (such as for sale items) that the whole list might find useful, but to ask interested recipients to reply off-list. On-list replies to off-list requests are generally considered bad netiquette. It will take you an extra second to manually type in the intended email address instead of blindly hitting "reply," but I think you will find that most listers do appreciate your extra effort. peace, Drew -- Author of ClassicStumbler email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> web: <http://homepage.mac.com/alk/> Want to know if your neighbor has Wi-Fi?
