Further to Sunny's request for contact details of the list
administrator, I will add the generic psci-com admin address to the
information that appears at the end of each psci-com message. Any
message sent to this address gets forwarded to me. For your information
it's mailto:[log in to unmask]

As someone who has made this mistake twice now, I'd like to strongly
agree with the suggestion that the list preferences be changed to a
reply being to the person sending and not to everyone. I'm on many
different lists, and none of them have "reply all" as the default.
Not only is it embarrassing if you don't realize, but it's a waste of
everyone's time reading messages that weren't meant for them. (For which
I now apologize, twice!).
Is there a moderator/listowner who can address this issue? I wouldn't
spam everyone, but there seems to be no guidance on how to, discreetly,
get in touch with someone in charge.
Thanks,
Sunny
