For the record, I'll also note that I rarely actually do this, even though I agree 100%. This is a matter of habit rather than malice; by far the most e-mail I reply to is at work, where even though most of the mail I reply to comes from a mailing list, it also invariably includes half a dozen other recipients that are not (or at least might not be) on the list, so list replies are inadequate. We have a truly staggering number of mailing lists, and having to look to see if each recipient happens to be on the list in question is just impractical. So as a (bad) habit I group-reply to nearly 100% of my mail, excepting the relatively rare cases when it occurs to me that I want to say something to the sender that is not appropriate for the group, or the exceedingly rare cases when I remember to list-reply. Mea culpa. Luckily for you, there are a variety of ways for you to cope with my dups. Use one. :) -- Derek D.
