Nigel, I agree with you and Dave if that's the correct interpretation of what Michel means by BUTM members not seeing replies. When I read the notice, I wasn't sure if he meant BUTM members can't see replies to them, or replies they wrote to someone else. If it's the latter, it's not quite as bad, but insulting nonetheless.

>Although it will probably be very difficult for you to find this reply, I totally agree with you. Michel, if you see this you will note that I'm a PUTM so this doesn't affect replies to my messages. I think it is also an insult to us PUTMs to know that people we help (most of my responses are to assist others) won't get that help unless they spend a long time looking for it.
