No,not today,it was Andy butler asking Bill to do that;-) But yes ive been asked before to do this but some ask me to adjust my email client to go to the list and not privately and some ask me to adjust it so it doesnt go to the list because ive written them privately,so ive been changing preferences back and forth;-) I think what i will have to do is if i write somebody privately i will have to do it from another account and have this account definetly set to always go to the list(this is what this account is for)so anyway fellows please always check your headers if u want your email to go to me privately or write me at louie.angulo@yahoo.com same thing happens to me with some peoples email on this list but now i always check the header because ive had the same situation in the past.
