Hi Lee and other CATSKILL Subscribers:
I made this request a few months ago of Nancy Towle from FAB, as she is the current CATSKILL List Owner. Nancy said she "inherited the list with the current settings" and that her understanding was that the list "was originally set up to provide a forum to discuss UVM business, rather than for making announcements." Therefore that is why the list settings have Reply-To function going back to the entire list. The only person who has authority to change the settings is Nancy, the List Owner.
Maybe CATSKILL has evolved into an announcement board only. The list currently has 366 subscribers. The list is almost 10 years old (created in1995). In a query of the list membership, one will find names of people who have left UVM, have been fired from UVM, and (sorry to be crass) who are dead.
Perhaps it is time to re-do, reinvent or reincarnate the CATSKILL list to clean up the membership roster and to clarify the purpose of the list. If anyone out there (out of 364 subscribers) wants to step up to the plate and help actively "manage" the list, I'm sure Nancy would greatly appreciate it.!
You can read about Listservs and what is entailed to manage one at:

If you want to LEAVE the CATSKILL list, you can do this yourself by going to:
http://list.uvm.edu/archives/catskill.html and clicking on "join or leave the list"
Thanks everyone....

Could somebody please fix the CATSKILL list so that when a recipient hits
the "Reply" button it will go to ONLY the person who sent the message and
not the whole list??
thanks!
