So, if the default reply setting were set to "reply to list" or "reply to
sender" or however it is done to get the default to
"peugeot-L@yahoogroups.com," life would go on without this thread and the
archive would easily include all of our comments that were not private as
between any two of us? It sounds like a deal to me. If I were the moderator,
owner, or whatever the person is who can change this, I would simply go and
change it. Would that person pleas consider doing this!?

> Geez, it is hard to change the default setting for this list? I don't
care if it's changed - particularly since it might prevent an exodus of
members to a forum. If it makes life easier for George and the others who
use the web, let's do it. Is there a reason we can't or shouldn't? Let's
resolve this and get back to fixing our cars......
