[Yaesu] Apology

So Ron, do you hate the Broadcast.net lists as well ? :)
(hehe sorry couldnt resist!)

You ARE just as much the judge either way....BUT when clicking
on Reply To: when the list is the3 default, ALL users of the list
get to see the reply...as it SHOULD be since the list IS set
up for that purpose...an exchange of information between users..
NOT a private discussion....
Just about every professional mail list I have been on sets the
reply TO THE LIST....If "I" want to reply to the person, then "I"
should make sure their address is what "I" am sending to...just
as if I was sending a new msg to them...
