Homestead mailing list

[bob ford <bobford79 AT yahoo.com>]

I don't really understand your rquest , Gene.  Like when I am , now, replying 
to you; only your address comes up in the "to" address rectangle for the 
reply.  So, I 'add' the homestead list address.  I do that with practically 
every email.  Usually if I notice that a list member has mailed only to me, I 
repost their post with an note saying what happened.  I must not havenoticed 
this time.  sorry.  I don't know what else I can do.  Was never a problem 
until yahooo upgraded our email and a number of us use yahoo.  I will try to 
be more observant, though.......................
