I don't mean to target Dirk specifically, I just haven't read the following threads.

Some reasons for this include that those who pay attention to the headers will group-reply to all lists while others may not. Those who reply to all lists may not be allowed to send unsubscribed emails to those alternate lists and have their mail held or bounced. It also easily breaks threads when some people group-reply and others do not. Archives do not include the full thread and in general it is messy.
