I don't think the above means the problem will go away. The fact that
the UP gets a warning does *not* mean s/he will know how to follow the
thread if s/he isn't copied on replies.

Barbara, I "hijacked" this from users@... into this discuss@... list.
I don't *know* if Paul is aware of your ideas but I'm 99.99999% sure he
is because he's actually an avid lurker (absolutely no offence intended;
in fact, the opposite).

Yep I'm aware of the various options and I do lurk on many lists (no offence
taken). From the discussion I've seen there are pro's and con's of each
proposed solution. I recommend that once we can open the dialogue required
to resolve anything (if possible) we can then hold a healthy discussion to
get to the 'best' option.
@Harold - each of your mails to this list has been moderated, which I'm sure
your aware of, but thought I'd let you know anyway (in case you saw a time
delay in them getting received by everyone).
