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, 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 > Scott > > -- > Registered Linux user #395249, http://counter.li.org > Nothing goes to waste when Little Fish are near! > (http://www.littlefish.ca) > > On Fri, 17 Mar 2006 12:25:45 -0600, Amy Stephen wrote > > Actually, Scott, I could have included "the list" in my response, > > but removed them intentionally from the send to.
