Re: Revised instructions on using this list, findingpasswords, changing user options, etc. [save for future reference]

There are three options with this.  Each member can go to the website and
personally change their configuration to send replies to the list, or the
entire list can be changed.  Larry set it up with "reply to author only" as
the default and I thought it was worth experimenting, at least.  If you
would rather have me nag you when you reply onlist, that's the other option.
