Menya has a very good point, and a good suggestion. I hope the List management will take heed. "Digest" means that you end up with one HUGE message, 3 or 4 smidgens of which you might like to save, print out, forward to colleagues off-list, or whatever. With "digest," you're forced to either save or delete *the whole thing.* ===> Why not set up the List so that the individual messages are "From" the original poster? That way, replies go by default to -->only that person, instead of cluttering the List. The fathers' rights and vegan lists I'm on are set up that way, and it makes a lot of sense. Replies to the huddled masses could still be made to museum-l, of course. Chris Bobbitt, Curator of Collections Monroe Co. Historical Museum, Bloomington, Ind. [log in to unmask] KA4EMR/9
