[Forum] Open Studios Website

[Kurt Kolok]

Howard...and all...

My guess is that your computer/email program has for some reason labeled 
the forum as "Kurt Kolok"...not sure why.  Although my name is shown 
beside the email address, the actual email address is 
"forum at berkshirevisualarts.org".  I have worked with list serves for my 
"day job" for the last 4 years and am unaware of the capability of 
hitting "reply" vs. "reply all" for the response to go to the entire list. 

I'd suggest (and believe it is required) that "reply all" is the best 
method for us to use here.  Typically a simple "reply" will only send to 
the person who sent the email you're responding to.

Joshua--is this list set up to accept emails from non-list members or 
are emails only posting if sent by someone actually on the list serve?

Kurt
