Janet,
Apparently, Antoinette didn't understand my question, since she defined the word "hoot" instead of answering the question that was asked.

All I was trying to do was point out that those who subscribe to Roots-L have no way of knowing which post one is answering unless one includes the title or a portion of the original post.

    Melba, 
    Do you think maybe Antoinette doesn't understand what you are saying. DUH!!!! 
    I know what you mean, or think I do. Why do we subscrib to the list and the 
    digest has nothing in it, should me miss the list post? 
    Like Roots - L? Is that what you are trying to ask? NOT the meaning of HOOT? 
    I think this is one. 
    Good luck. You're going to need it.
