That's why we all should add a reply-to field on the messages we send
to the list. (although I forgot to do this with this message :-P)


No, we shouldn't :) See archives for various long arguments on the

Every list has its hot buttons which can spawn flame wars.

This is one of those hot buttons for this list.
