The website holds a history of all the messages sent to the Group and is easily searched. You can update your email settings to get individual posts as they are sent or one daily email.

I Get Too Much Email, What Can I Do About It?

The number of messages posted to the group is small and are generally meeting notices, cruise news and race results, but sometimes a discussion topic can generate interest and a bunch of emails are generated in one day. If you want to reduce the number of emails to one per day you can change your membership settings to Digest Email which combines all posts togther and sends them to you at the end of the day.

How Should I Reply to Google Group Emails?

You should use Reply which will send the message only to the person who sent the post. Do not use Reply to All unless you want the entire membership reading your message.
