  Kris it depends on the 'reply' if the reply is
  thanking someone for replying to their question
  then there is no need to send it to the list as
  all it does is clog up the list with a reply
  that is intended for one person and not all list
  members. - it will be off-topic - something is
  also off topic if it has no relevance to the
  list's purpose.  eg; if its something about the
  weather or a news event - they are usually
  off-topic - Though some off-topics are allowed
  but accompanied by a tip. (see rule 2)

  Whereas if you're replying to a post with
  another question or with something that will be
  helpful to other list members it will be
  on-topic and should be sent to thelist.

  I have now deleted the post you sent that
  started off this thread.  So I can't remember
  what the contents of your post was....

  I would also like to draw your and everybody
  elses attention to rule 5

  <:> Rule 5: http://lists.evolt.org/index.cfm/a/listinfo
  : When responding to a post, delete all
  : information that is not strictly necessary.
  : This includes the evolt.org tag line and .sig
  : files.
  : Delete anything you're not specifically
  : responding to.
  <:>
    This is soo very important...

    Please TRIM your posts
