Quite the contrary, I am grateful. But now I have a problem. As I just
tested, everytime I reply to Paul's list messages, they just go to Paul
instead of the whole list as it usually does. I haven't figured out why
yet, so if anyone has any suggestions just send them to me privately as
not to cluter up the list with Technical Difficulties.

I think this happened once before, but I think that was to Paul also...

I _am_ sending this to the list so everyone knows: if you look at the
header in Paul's messages, you'll notice a Reply To field with Paul's
address behind it. That overrides the ShadowRN list's reply to field, so
if you don't manually adjust the address it goes to Paul instead of to the
list. It's not just Paul, some other people give similar problems for
similar reasons (my mailer also allows me to give a Reply To address but
I've intentionally left it blank to prevent just this sort of thing...)
