Hi :) Everyone gets all the emails to this list so in 1 email you can respond to multiple people at the same time. It feels unnatural and most people don't think of it but it can be done, in theory. I often deal with 1 email at a time and then when i read another email later on wished that i had read them all first before responding. It's kinda the nature of emails though. We are all on different timelines so we have to forgive each other a bit or it gets messy.
My answer was at the end of a long day and we had a leek in the kitchen that i had to check we had stabilised before i was able to go home. I sometimes wonder why we don't get such basic questions on this list. They can be fun :) Regards from Tom :) On 29 November 2013 02:23, A <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for the detailed explanation. Steps 6 & 7 were essentially what I > was missing.
