List members, I would like to cast my vote for the old system of replying to messages. Being able to send a personal reply to the sender gives the opportunity to easily and confidentially make a point to the sender that that properly should not be shared with the group. The difficulty of isolating the original sender's address has the effect of discouraging communication between list members as individuals.
I do not understand why this change was initiated. Were there problems with the old system? Why should we ourselves now impose impediments on our ability to communicate directly with our colleagues on topics that arise in the list? Regards, Bob Terwilliger -
