My take here, Jim, is that it should not be that way. I don't think
that other lists to which I subscribe, are that way, Rollei
excepted, of course, since it, too, is Brian's. Submini-L list, for
sure, is not. How 'bout it Dan, is Hassy List so enabled?
It allows a non-subscriber to post blindly and seek private email
replies to the exclusion of the rest of the list. In this particular
case, no harm no foul, but, if the question were something of
general interest, it circumvents the raison d'être of a list.
