There is also another problem which noone (I believe) has really addressed.
In a discussion post like this it is possibly better for it to go only to
the list, but in the case of a system problem, the post should really always
be cc'd back to the originator (if he/she wishes).
When you are up to your knees in a broken system it is sometimes preferable
not to have to scan a general list which may be up to 45 mins delayed.
