[KJ7UN]

When someone asks a question, I'm interested in the answer - actually MORESO
than the original question!  That's why we have the list - so everyone can
see the questions AND the answers.  If we defaulted to the "author" instead
of the "group" - we'd all miss the second half of the conversations and then
the list just becomes a place to post questions, but not an information
exchange.  Just because I don't send off a "me too" email, doesn't mean I'm
not interested in the reply to a particular thread.  Sharing of all parts of
the conversation is the whole basis of a list forum.  And I like this list!
:)  Good job!
