I'm sorry Sellam (and to others who have sent me email recently)... I'm
barraged by a huge volume of email at the moment, primarily due to the list
change and some problems that people seem to be having. As a result, I have
barely been able to reply to anything other than the most critical messages.
My apologies people - if anyone sent me an email that I haven't responded to
recently, please wait a few days, and then send it again. That would greatly
help my sanity right now!

Here's how it is currently handled. In the scenario that Sellam puts forth,
no - the reply from someone on cctalk to a post that originated on cctech
will NOT go back to cctech. You can't have it both ways people - either the
people on cctech see posts on cctalk or they don't. The people who have
joined cctech did so specifically because they DIDN'T want to see posts on
cctalk. As a result, I'm sure not going to force them to see posts on
cctalk. (more below)

Yes, it will work, but the responsibility is the choice of the list member,
not mine. If one wants to see posts on both, they should join both lists.
However, keep in mind that most people won't want to join both, they will
only want one or the other. In the end, it's the users choice.
