I'm not sure if I'm getting or missing your point, Lou -- but part of
what may be at play here is that the list is setup to default to reply
to the individual who made the post, and not the list. one has to use
"reply all" in order to send a reply message to the entire list.  i
know a couple of times i've received responses to something i've
posted to TownTalk from someone when clearly they intended the message
to go to the entire list.
