So that people would know there's alpha testing to be done and know
where discussion is taking place in case they're considering
participating.

He said, "This is a development version not intended for wide use by
normal users, that's why I directed followups on the development
group." IMO, that's pretty far from complaining -- it's simply filling
you in on info you hadn't picked up on. (And other people also needed
the info; you're not the only one who overrode the followup that was
set.)

In the OP, followups were set to mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey, as he's
already pointed out. But IMO it should also be mentioned in the body of
the OP announcement.
This branch of the thread doesn't have any SeaMonkey support content,
so I'm setting followup to 'poster'. This means most software will
automagically send replies to my e-mail address. If you need to
override that for some reason, please use mozilla.general
