[Elecraft] Off list responses

[Don Wilhelm]

For all the mailman.qth lists I subscribe to Reply goes only to the 
sender, Reply all goes to the list and to the sender.

All the Yahoo groups (I hate that arrangement)  Reply goes to the list, 
you have to do Reply All and delete the list to send a personal comment.
Furthermore, with the Yahoo groups, there are some "links" at the bottom 
of the post that allow you to reply to the sender or to the list.  
Unfortunately, those links do not copy any of the prior text, so there 
is no "mind-jogger" to tell the public list reader what is being 
responded to.  If you do the email client Reply or Reply all and attempt 
to trim the prior text, you get a whole screenfull of garbage after what 
you tried to trim.

Give me the simple email list like we have here, and lobby to change 
Yahoo groups to be more like this list.
Do "Reply All" and delete the individual sender if the reply is public.

73,
Don W3FPR
