[Amps] Suggestion.....

[Gary K9GS]

Hello George,

I like it the way it is.....people just have to be disciplined to using 
"reply all" when they want their response to go to the list...which they 
should in most cases.  I've always made it a habit to always check the 
addresses I'm sending e-mail to before I hit "send".


73,
