Or if it bothers people, they can set up their email client to process read receipts automatically from newsgroups. (I know you can do it in Outlook Express; GMail does not show them at all). I agree with Jack, that this is not poor email etiquette, as we each have our won preferences and the tools at our disposal allow us to manage this effectively to suit our needs.
Still, it would be nice if read receipts were stripped off at the list server, though I understand that this is operated by a 3rd party, not the Legacy folk.
