Dave, et al -- ...and then Dave G said... % % To start out, I'd just like to make an observation. I've noticed ... % that the topic has come up multiple times in itself indicative of what % natural human expectations are. On the lists I belong to where responses
I very much disagree; I consider the topic indiciative of how screwed up mail has become thanks to such garbageware as MS Outlook (not the only offender but, as noted by Nigel, by far the most common). ... % I understand this list, my mail software, and the theory behind % the reply-to munging debate very well. Non comprehension or ability are % not at issue here. Don't assume that non-agreement equals non % understanding. I agree that it doesn't. I would state instead that non-agreement equals mis-education and improperly set expectations. % % "My opinion is that this is a multi person discussion forum, not a % person to person forum." % I agree very strongly with this statement, and most of the email % that follows it. If someone posts a question, and gets a private email % solving the problem, how does everyone else benefit? So don't get a private email; nobody is saying that you have to. [By the way, that works quite well on a number of lists; someone asks a question, gets numerous responses, and then that same person posts a summary and solution back to the list for future benefit and possible further comment.] But if the list sets the Reply-To: header then it's awfully hard to send one, isn't it, even if you want to!
