Am I the only person getting double posts from this list?  Maybe a little 
manual editing is needed before hitting the send button!

Also, since I subscribe to this list, just responding to the list would get 
me the message.  I'm getting "LPDA" messages that I'm not even included in 
the conversation only because I asked the initial question.

Being that this group is about the open discussion of towers and antennas, 
all replies should automatically go BACK to the list (for everyone to 
see).  As it is now, people have to MANUALLY include this list in their 
replies along WITH the original sender and those in the cc field.

I personally delete the original sender and replace it with the TOWERTALK 
address.  No need to send it twice!  It really as easy as highlighting the 
"to" field and inserting towertalk@contesting.com.

If this was a broadcast list (like FOR SALE lists) then it would make sense 
to direct replies to the sender.  To me, Tower Talk is a roundtable without 
a radio, microphone, and antenna.  If we were on the air, we would all hear 
the various replies and learn from them.

I know replies to the list are frowned on by some list masters, but it is a 
better idea especially for this list!  I run it the same way for lists I 
manage and it works perfect!  Everyone is in the loop then!

If you do need to reply to the sender, THEN you can manually reply to 
them...not manually every time as you do now.

What do YOU think?
