I'm pretty late to this. I myself post though gmane so by default I only reply to the list, technically gmane.linux.debian.user.
However, this being a users list, I think that a majority of opinions or preference from users should dictate how the list works. Who holds the gavel? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
