Additional Information

Notes:
The FRCC Exploder Lists are created through a third party called KTEK. The
KTEK list is created and members are added to the list. Whenever an email is
sent to an Exploder List through KTEK, it allows the members of that list to
respond to each other through email. The difference between an Exploder List
and a regular Outlook email list is that an Exploder List is owned by anyone
who receives the message, while an Outlook list is only owned by whoever
created and sent the original email.
