It sure points to why so many of us hate the new system. Look how many counterintuitive, illogically placed hoops we now have to go through to do what otherwise was very simple and straightforward in the old system. By any measure it’s BAD DESIGN. It’s the Kranich and Bach of e-mail systems. There! I said it and I’m not sorry! Was price the only reason we bought this jack of all trades, master of none e-mail software?</span></p>

The only thing is that people who are no longer using the old list system (those who have unsubscribed and are only subscribed to the <a href="http://my.ptg.org" target="_blank">my.ptg.org</a> list) will not see that posting. Similarly, if someone is only subscribed to the old list and not the new one, then a posting from <a href="http://my.ptg.org" target="_blank">my.ptg.org</a> will not reach the old list. For those still subscribed to both lists, they will see it no matter which way you post it. For the time being it makes sense to remain subscribed to both lists if you want to see postings from both. </span></p>

Type your message where you can more easily edit it (the new site format is not nearly as good as most email programs). When you are done copy the text and then go to the bottom and click on the link to take you to respond to sender or discussion as you choose. When you get to the website where the reply will be posted then just paste it into the reply box and hit send. </span></p>
