Hi Matthew,

It's always been that way here.

The type2 (Baywindow bus) list is the same. I believe the intent was to
discourage unintentional posts to the lists. Back in the old days when
bandwidth was expensive and dial-up was the norm, it was important to
stay on-topic.

If you use "reply all", it's not an issue.


Happy Trails,
