[drivingpairs] replying to list posts and the forum

Just curious but what caused this change?  I didn't realize anything was broken

the list. 

Marjean,

Nothing was broken.   We just thought it might be one more place for pairs 
drivers to post to and read.   

As for replying privately to mgs posted to the list, I know it's difficult.   
Here's what I do:   I'll hit the reply key, and usually you can see the email 
address of the person who posted the msg.to which you want to reply.   In the 
To: space in the new window, I erase the pairs list address that will 
automatically appear, and replace it with the address which usually appears in 
the reply text.   Sometimes it'll only have the name of the person, but if they 
are in your address book, you can do it.   Sometimes when only the email 
address, but no name, gets put into your address book...there is a problem.   
Would be great if names with email addresses would show up ALWAYS, but they 
don't.   One way to solve that problem would be to go post a request that the 
person contact you privately.   It's not a crime to reply via the list, it just 
clutters things up.   I'm sure members don't mind and understand the problem.
