Another rare occasion where I agree with Harald, it annoys me greatly
that people find the need to reply directly as well as a list, I mean we
*are* all on the same list, so we will *all* , yes, including intended
recipient, get the post, do people think that sending it directly will
get read sooner? Not always, this account for instance sorts by list,
anything not associate with a list-id or x-been-there, gets sent to an
x-blah  folder right at the end, so my inbox stays pretty empty, and
your direct messages may not get read for weeks, as I liken it to a
second spam folder :)


in some cases, some lit software can be configured to not send a list
post to you if you are in the To/CC field, this becomes extra steps to
reply to list, I have to drag and drop the darn message into the list
"folder" where I prefer to keep list posts for history until I decide to
shrink it.

Its also a pet hate of mine where lists are not configured to reply-list
only, Thomas has correctly set this one up, pitty a few more didn't
follow his lead.

Why? most mailing list software configured correctly with MDA's send
just as quick as a direct, the list server I run, (not now but a few
years ago) ran a usenet-mailing list gw, some of those lists had 5K
members, and a post would take all of 25 seconds to be sent to everyone.
so, I fail to see the point of why you want two copies of the same
thing,  you either send a reply to hte list for all to see, or, send a
direct message to the poster if your comments are not fit for general
(list) consumption, not both.
