Re: Mailing lists, CC, followup-to, netiquette and all the rest [was: direct ethernet connection between computer and printer]

One comment to the thread subject, rather than to any particular post.

We would do well to remember that trying to participate in a mailing
list or a newsgroup with an MUA is an inherent contradiction in
purpose.

Put another way, ordinary e-mail and postings to newsgroups and
mailing lists are two rather different kinds of things, even though
they share certain common features and have certain features that
appear the same but are not.
