<VV> RE: Changing "reply" for VV

[Bryan Blackwell]

I'd propose that a better way is for the originator to then post a 
summary - which is in fact what we suggest in the monthly guidelines.  
This, BTW, is the way it's done on several lists I've been on (all of 
which pre-date Yahoo groups, etc.).  It is possible on this list to get 
ten answers all suggesting the same thing.  We don't really need all 
those filling up the archive, but you're correct, we do want the answer 
in the archive.  It is, also, useful sometimes to get the ten answers 
and seeing them on the list may keep someone from sending that to the 
poster.
