No, it is not. I am writing to a public mailing list and I expect that any reply to any of what I wrote on it is kept the same -public- and directed to the mailing list. So as I am not the one breaking the way a mailing list works, if I receive an e-mail _just directed to me_ (and not to the list) following a thread that is taking place in a public mailing list I can proceed as I prefer. ---- +20 Oh and as far as that thing I said about having Cred, Camaleón assist more people on this list than just about anyone, so he's got Cred. Pick your battles a bit wiser. TeddyB
