Yes, a matter of netiquette. The addressing of replies (Reply/Reply All) 
but hay.

I seem to remember the number for TT is in the 100/200 range. A large 
number of those are from out of town, HOPE, Hyattsville, Collage Park, 
the yoga lady, members who's purpose is to post their (often commercial) 
interest here as apposed to learning what is going on in Riverdale Park 
and participating in an exchange of ideas.  There also seems to be a 
large number of "silent" members based on the names in the Sender column.
