Yeah, I know there are such lists. I personally find that recommendation
plain stupid. If people are going to use 'reply to all' and do the
listserver job manually, then the mailing list can be dropped, and
people can just use reply to all and use long lists of recipients.

It's the poster's responsibility to look for answers to his questions.
If he does not want to subscribe to receive them, he can look at the
archives.
