Ralph, do you see your original posts at all? or only if someone replies 
to them?
I saw the original picture post and the new one as well.

I ask because there is an option in the mail program that will block 
users from receiving a copy of messages they send to the list.

If I enabled it I would only see messages from other ATIS folks and 
replies to my posts but not my own original posts.
