This is a mailing to a club membership, and is for announcements only.
The one or two people who will do the monthly postings do not want to
get replies sent to their mailboxes, and they do not want replies sent
back to the list.  They have changed the list footer to read:

     All mail/replies should be sent to <xxx>.

where "<xxx>" is another list for the club officers where anyone can
post.
