The extra [C-L] is an artifact of having adding the underscore.  The "Fw:"
was added by Patty's original forward of a message from when the list was
down...  If people ever stop replying to that thread the problem will go
away.  Are you listening Liz?  (I know she will take it in the manner I
intended :)

The way to handle replies is a trade-off. 
Current configuration: replies to the list are harder.
Other configuration: replies to the author are harder.
And it depends on your software.  With my software (Pine), replies to list
take one click, replies to author takes two clicks.

BTW I was thinking of trying to change the underscore to a space but I'll
wait on that....  or how about just CL_ (skip the square brackets and the
dash)?  I think I'll wait till April 1st before changing that and will
take comments ( OFF LIST please) on the replies config. till then too

I do think we have had a few more short banter-like replies than I'd
prefer...   But we are in the exciting restart of things phase and they'll
settle down, right?  Three folks did unsub today...
And remember to only quote as much as needed in replies...

Fred
