Hi Tom, group; The point (as others have said) is that this group is "different". I'm on 50 Yahoo groups, a problem in it's own right, and this is the ONLY one to default to the original sender instead of the group, and most of these groups have only a few personal messages show up (usually followed by an apology). If most of the others used the same defaults (or I posted mostly to S Scale) it would be easier to remember. Do you really believe most S Scaler's are so much less computer literate than all the folks in these other groups?
I can live with either option; if I haven't posted to this group in a while I tend to forget and, guess what, I generally will not bother to repost unless I can easily recover the text of message. BTW, I suspect some members who preferred the status-quo are "dumb as a fox" and making their point without arguing by sending the off-topic posts....

I'm on some groups where anyone who wants to send a personal message to another individual member of the group just sends it to the whole group and simply doesn't care that he has wasted the time and computer space of others.
