Hi Seoirse I am not sure that you realise that you are on the VIP_Students list. What this means to any new-comers is that there are over 50 other people on this list along with yourselves. So for example if I send a message out on this list then "over 50 other persons" will receive a copy of my message. If you "Seoirse" send a message out on the list then everyone on the list, "over 50 other people" will also receive a copy of your message. This is how an email list group works just like one big classroom, we all learn from each other on here so enjoy okay. Noreen is just another member of the group.
