[Local-Maine-Schools] replies (was: excuse me)

Just a reminder in clarifying a point of what Brian is saying:

The list was set up so that if you simply press REPLY, your reply goes 
only to whomever sent the mail, not to the list.  It was done this way 
to avoid the well-known embarrassment of replies intended for an 
individual going to the larger list.  A reply doesn't go to the whole 
list unless you use your mail program's REPLY ALL.

But it's always best to check the header of a message (both the TO and 
CC lines) before you send it, to make sure no unintended recipients are 
lurking there.
