I disagree. Replies should go where the person sending the reply
wants them to go, with consideration for any request which may be
made by the poster of the message being replied to. Say, for
instance, that you wanted to complain about my .sig - it may be a
reply to a list posting, but it's completely off-topic and absolutely
does not belong on the list.

Again, I disagree. People who have problems with their debian
systems should be able to obtain help without subjecting themselves
to the hundreds of messages per day which are generated by this list.
