Makes sense to me. Thanks.

Because I wasn't paying attention. Using Thunderbird, when I start 
typing in a name in the To: line, T-bird will finish it for me and offer 
other possibilities. It used to be that when I started typing PLUG, it 
finished the line with PLUG List <plug at lists.pdxlinux.org>. For some 
reason, now it's putting Plug-talk ahead of Plug. Alerted to the 
problem, I'll pay more attention in the future.

Thanks again to all who responded.
