Being a sort of anal pilot-type, I usually try to get the <procedures> right. But I guess I'm confused on the local 'Netiquette for PaddleWise. (A thread a week or so addressed this issue briefly.) In my (somewhat limited) experience with similar servers, a response to any post defaults as a post to the group; on PaddleWise, y'all appear to have it set up that a response to a post defaults only to the individual who sent the note to which you're responding. Maybe it's just me (or my system) --- dunno. Once that part's understood, it appears that, to avoid 'Netiquette violations, it is necessary to "resond to all", and then knock off the sender's address, so that the response goes to the list --- <including> the server --- but not to the sender individually <and> the server. If you don't do this, it looks like anyone adding a comment just compounds the problem, and you get two or three copies of the same message --- which, it sounds like, generates some bandwith problem in the PDQ --- or whatever! Anyway, it's <bad>, whatever it is. If it's just me, let me flop along. I'll figure it out eventually, and I'll try to get posts out when I intend to and individual messages normally. I'm a PTI/FNG in Navy-speak --- a Post-Tom Ingram, uh, er, New Guy. I'll learn.

The other problem is remembering to erase all the stuff at the bottom of the page when reply.
