Maybe so Brian, it is just not intuitive for me. One would think that being a public mailing list it should default to "reply to the list". You know how many times I sent a reply to have it go to the author onlywhen it was intended for the list? Because I use the web and not an email client to reply, I do not have a record of what I wrote, so most of the time I just give up and not bother to type it all over again.

I'm serious Steve, your problems stem from the way you use the system. (the reply-all problem you speak of. I'm not sure why you're not getting this. It's really simple.)

#2....Without defending Yahoogroups, the Vectorbd archives and search were in effect even though the mailing list was on Yahoo. This was a separate effort by Jim Lill to make these messages available in an archive.

> The better forums have features where you can choose to get instant  email notifications of replies to a thread you're subscribed to. This  way you won't be bombarded constantly by every reply, only the ones  you're interested in. Isn't that for the better?

Recommended format for your email subject lines: Model # [Model Letters] Year Subject

Examples:
