[Charlug] Keeping Discussions On-List

[Kevin Williams]

Since we are back on mailman, maybe the default setting to reply should be
reply to list and not reply to sender like ezlm forced upon us with the
previous switch. Easier to change mailman setting than the habit of just
hitting reply.. Just a suggestion and my 2 cents.

peace,
-Kevin.

"Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have
found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must
speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our
limited vision, but we must speak." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. -- April
4, 1967
