Of course the analogy only fits where the same person needs more than one
fish at all. Also, in this case it was about a forward to debian-devel,
not to debian-x (I am not sure if he did CC it to the person having the
question. If not, any explanation is probably without effect). So, I
don't see your point. Do you want to say that it is better to forward
the messages, or that there is seldom a difference? Seldom means that
there are cases which do make a difference. Aren't these cases worth it?
Thanks,
Marcus
