To All:

Taking a quick break from my work-at-home activities to express a bit of 
puzzlement. I’ve been on this list for years, and for years I’ve seen messages 
about people who try to respond to the person who posted a message but couldn’t 
for some reason. I *think* this is all based on issues in the online version of 
Google Groups, right?

You all know that you can get all of this stuff sent to you in you email inbox, 
yes? You get an email that is the same as the post on Google Groups, which 
comes with the email of the sender/poster in it. Then you use your email 
program to compose a message back. Quick and easy. I’ve done it this way since 
… forever.

Am I missing something? Are these people philosophically averse to using email? 
You don’t *have* email? You only want to interact with the RBW Group online? 

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. It’s just that the same problem comes 
up over and over and over again, and the solution is so easy.

OK, back to work for me.
