Re: Why Google?

[David Biddle <Dbiddle@no.address>]

I like the Google offering, Chris. You did fine. The only thing that is
missing seems to be the mailing address of the sender to reply to that
person only. Sometimes it seems like it¹s better just to respond to a
question individually and now it looks like we need to think and do a
copy-paste of the email address as opposed to just clicking Reply or Reply
All. 

No biggy though. We just gotta adjust.
