Where do I click when I'm making a simple statement without associating to
just ONE person?

Just send an email to csound@lists.bath.ac.uk.  In my email client,
which is Thunderbird, I can right-click on that address when I see
it in the "To:" of a post, and choose "Compose email to...".

I click on REPLY on one of you because it seems to be the only way to append.

and then it copies what YOU typed and shows up on the bottom.

Why can't I just append without a copy of what YOU typed?

example: Pardon? That just doesn't make any sense.
              try typing?

There's a checkbox in Gmail that says "Include quoted text in reply."

Switch to HTML View.

The only way for something to show on the Csound mailing list is to send an 
email.

Replying is one way of sending an email.

The word "append" is not used in the context. There is no such thing as 
"appending" a discussion on a mailing list. Although perhaps google 
provides some interface that makes it appear that way. It might make it 
look like you are not sending an email, but behind the scenes you are.

When you reply you can choose to include the previous poster's text or not 
(at least, in most email clients you have this choice). Before google 
provided a web interface to certain mailing lists, the only way to receive 
messages was individually via email. It makes sense in this case to quote 
the text you are replying to because otherwise there is no way to know what 
specifically you are replying to.

Replying is the right thing to do when you are staying on the same topic. 
But you don't necessarily have to quote text.

You can also send an email without replying by composing a new email 
addressed to csound@lists.bath.ac.uk. That would be appropriate if you want 
to start a new topic.

I can't seem to find the checkbox.
However, I can still reply inside of gmail and ERASE the copied text of
someone else if I wish.
Here in the mailing list there is a Quote button and a "Message is in HTML
Format" checkbox.

OK, see? I just clicked on it. I think I get it.
