He is extrapolating, rightly or wrongly regarding "majority" and opining regarding "stubbornness". I was simply seconding his claim that this list is set up differently from others in respect of the "reply" feature. I use the gmail web interface. There is no "reply to list" option or "folder reply" setting - although I am going to check whether there is a "label reply" setting (thanks for the idea)... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
