To reply to the list you need to click on the "Reply All" option. some lists are set up in different ways, I guess this one requires this method.

by the way, I'm not the list owner, but I do own several RootsWeb lists. The option to send messages to the list by hitting the reply or the reply all option is set by the owner. (clear as mud? <G>)

Ruth

I agree with you. I was under the impression that the whole point of a mailing list was to exchange information, where possible, with all members.

I once made the mistake of replying to an individual (on another mailing list) and it was politely put to me (and rightly so) that my reply really should have been sent to the list for everyone to see.

Only in cases where AOL have caused problems have I deviated from this.

I have received so little Boston mail since joining that I do wonder about continuing my subscription.
