We already know a moderator is not for theos lists.

These are useful and serious points - I think some of us could take note
and try to be more selective.  The "Reply" button can be quick and easy
to use, but the result may not always be useful to all readers.  I know
I get tempted by this, and sometimes alter a reply to go the an
individual rather than the list.  I could do it more often, I know, and
am posting this reply to Michelle to the list for consideration by
others.
