No problem.

The CLUE lists have been configured so that all responses go 
back to the list.  So both reply and reply-all reply to the 
list only.  This configuration can be changed and there have 
been some adamant arguments on other lists for doing so.

The primary one being that with the current configuration
it's a pain in the ass to reply directly to a post (off-line).
If the configuration is changed, you'd have to reply-all to
every list message to send your message to the list, a simple
reply will only reply to the originator of the message -- not 
the entire list.

The flip side of the argument is that responses to the list 
should be encouraged and off-line replies should be discouraged 
for the benefit of everyone on the list.

If there are strong feelings by CLUEbies to change the current
configuration, I can certainly do so.
