Then may I humbly request people only reply via the list and not to my personal email. My email is visible, I think it is so please correct me if I am wrong, if anyone needs to send me an email they can do it without the forum/mailing list. I don't need multiple copies of the same thing in my mail box.
Thanks for all your replies.
