Thank you, Joe! I hadn't seen that document before, and it's good to have a
list of all the counter-arguments (rather than a barrage of -1s).
I note for the record, however, that I received two copies of this email,
which means that Joe must have hit "Group Reply", so that means that *even
with* Reply-to munging on, the principle of minimal bandwidth is violated :-)
(I note also that since my From address is not my preferred address, anyone
replying to me personally from a list post will be using my internal
address, which may change at any moment -- Mr. Hill's reply-to-useful doc
doesn't address this. And I'm not demanding a response here, either -- as
far as I'm concerned, this question is asked and answered, and I'm happy to
get back to work.)
