regarding the reply address on the list....

>NOBODY had any serious difficulty using the old system.

That is an assumption on your part... it just so happens that some of us
did have problems with the old system. It seems that maybe we just didn't
complain about it enough... :-)

>SOME people have some difficulty with the new system.

Parity...

In fact, for this 'response', I decided to simply make it a new 'send' to
the list, so the original author won't get a second copy of this
message... this is easier for me than to have to search for and then
cut-and-paste the address of the author if I want to send just to them...
after all, the list is at a fixed address (for now).

After all that, however, I'm going to withdraw my vote for the new system,
I'll abstain. I'll get by with whatever is available (so long as it isn't
the HTML-cr*p)... I do like Sellam's argument about information lost due
to doing a reply and having it go only to the author and not the list.

My $.02
