<div><font color="#000000" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The previous list behavior (reply goes to sender) is considered the best practice for mailing lists, but different strokes for different folks. So I have changed it back. Be aware that replies to
earlier posts will still go to the sender, but replies to this or later messages should go to the lists. When I say "will go to ..." keep in mind you can always make your reply positively go the the list by just making sure the list address (found in the
footer of every message) is in the address list. I made the same change to both lists.</font></div>

<div><font color="#000000" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">There is no magic to keeping the list lively, it just needs a few folks posting some interesting material from time to time. In the last few years the dialogue list had more heavy duty discussions,
and some folks have told me they actually preferred this list because it was quieter. But I gave up trying to nudge the lists one way or another years ago.</font></div>

Frank well. Our son Dietrich was born in Adelaide. </font></div>
