Message-ID: <2e354997-38d0-93b4-9f18-1501419dc846@gmail.com> (raw)

Thank you for responding to my post.  I think I asked the wrong 
question.  What I really want to know is how to use this mailing list 
and others like it.  I'm new at this, and can't find any instructions 
anywhere.  Such lists must have become part of the culture, and I must 
have missed school that day.  I'm able to create a post, but don't know 
how to reply to one.  Somehow I got the feeling that I should only reply 
to the mailing list, rather than directly to the person (like you) who 
responded to my post.  I don't get responses via email, and don't even 
know if I should.  Instead, I check for them periodically on the web 
page for the mailing list archive.  If I find a response, I don't know 
the right way to reply.
