- Michael A. Peters:
I would wager that over 95% of the time when someone hits the reply button on a list post, their intent is to reply to the list.
You'd lose that wager. This list, like many others, has a "List-Post" header embedded in every single message posted. People need to use smart MUAs (or the proper key combination) to reply to the list.
As part of my job, I process literally hundreds of mailing list messages on a nearly daily basis, and never found it taxing or confusing. Existing conventions make it easier for me to handle this load, and I have zero patience for people who refuse to use the right tools for the job.
