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.

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, so please don't reply.)

These are just list etiquette, oh yeah, and not using HTML, it usually adds
little more than bandwidth!

We're here to help! This is a well mannered and polite list, can we keep it
that way please?

Have a good w/e guys :-)

Kind regards
Adrian
