Yep!  My bad.  I reflexively used "Reply" instead of "Reply All" and 
didn't realize it until I already sent the reply.  The new list 
configuration is aggravating.  Given how many private replies I am 
getting since the change, I am not alone in the group.  As you hint at, 
the real problem is deciding if the private reply was really a private 
reply or just a miss-click like I did with this one.  It is an etiquette 
problem...

I read that section of Chapter 8 last night, just to see if the guide 
did explain layers.  There are two pages referring to layers and that is 
mostly taken up by figures.  I will have to work with Draw to get the 
feel of how to apply this new layer technique.
