Although the usual stated policy for this list is _NOT_ to reply direct to individuals but normally only to the list, it is also possible, if you don't know whether an individual is subscribed, that it might be a good way of getting a message to them. In that, at least, this list is unusual: we do expect a certain number of people who will write a question to the list but may not realise that it is also beneficial to subscribe. See also: Maling list code of conduct etc. All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater
