And your point is?.... FSM knows I'm *so* not a fan of change for change's sake, but I also think it's bizarre to excuse a state of affairs as "that's the way we've always done it". If people actually do prefer reply-to list, I'm certainly not agitating for change. (And since only one person has specifically expressed a preference for switching off reply-to list, I'll shut up except for addressing any other wrong comments.) > Show me another list that doesn't respond to everyone. darktable-us...@lists.sourceforge.net, just for example. I'm on about twenty or thirty different mailing lists, I'd say that maybe five are reply-to list. > Pentax Forum sure doesn't post your reply only to the original sender.

I'm used to it, just brought it up because someone mentioned mistakenly replying to list when they intended private, and because I've seen a number of lists over the last decade or two switch off reply-to list because of the disproportionate cost of making a mistake. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
