That clears up a lot. In fact, I was surprised when I first learned that one needn't be subscribed to OOo lists to participate. Well, we can see what this practice has brought us to! I think the practice was started probably to make it easier and straightforward to get help. It might have helped in some cases, but in most cases it has just broken the normal list practices and increased confusion. -- Please reply to this list only.
