Hi Scott. First, please don't top post. Second, chill out, it's Friday. Third, I belong to (and administer) a lot of lists and using "reply all" and removing unwanted addresses is pretty standard - not slick, but normal. > The fact that my initial post for help ended with nothing more then the tail > end of a conversation carried on outside of the list is proof of this.

Fifth, Chill :-) Amy, if you'd marked your email OFF LIST when trying to save Scott's embarrassment, he'd have understood that the list had not failed and that you were having a quiet word in his ear. (P.S. Couldn't give a monkey's if anyone was wrong.) These are just list etiquette, oh yeah, and not using HTML, it usually adds little more than bandwidth! We're here to help!
