Hi David,

I access the list through email, and I don't know how the news server or the 
gateway operates exactly.  Most mailing lists I'm on will send the reply to the 
list if I just hit reply.  This one, however, sends the reply to the original 
poster.  So, the only way I can send to the list is to hit reply all.  I'm glad 
to delete the original poster's name if that's what I'm supposed to, but I 
thought it was being put there intentionally.  I don't like the idea of my 
email address getting blacklisted if I forget to delete the original name 
however.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, don't be concerned.
I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy mailing lists and such.
I don't always see new email messages very quickly.  If you need a reply and
haven't heard from me in 1 - 2 weeks, send your message again.)
