I agree that it is important to send replies to the list rather than the OP I think that there is a misunderstanding by some here as to how to reply to a post in the reflector that my lead to many replying off line unintentionally .
with most email systems just hitting reply will send your answer to the original poster and not the reflector. be sure that when you reply that the reflector address is in the "to:" I have made that mistake a few times. Some email clients like Thunderbird have a "reply list" option. and this works. also hitting "reply all" and deleting all but the elecraft@.... address will work too. In a nutshell Reply to the reflector not the OP unless you are passing personal info you don't want all to see. Many of us may at some time have the same questions or problems and posting your answers to the reflector will help many and not just that of the original poster. and thats what the reflector is for. I am also in agreement that one should trim the original text a bit. but not all as its sometimes helps to have some context to an answer.
