Hi David and others,

David, 

Did you send this message just to me?  When I pressed reply all it did not put the Vanagon List address in as it usually does. 

I’m guessing you only sent this to me?  If you sent to the entire list then it would be strange that reply all would result in my message only going to you.
I manually added the Vanagon email list address to this reply.

Slow progress but we are slowly learning some things.
