At the risk of being off topic myself by posting this, replying to a message that you
think should go to the list is not the
arduous task some people may think it is. Most email programs, (in fact I can't think
of one that doesn't), have the ability
to reply to all. In this way you can reply to the list by using reply to all and
deleting the address of the original sender so
he or she doesn't receive the message twice. This message is not intended to add fuel
to any flames, but rather to offer
a suggestion to make it easier to reply to the list and to hopefully curve any further
comments to the list owner posted to
the whole list concerning the alterations he has made.
