[TowerTalk] Posting replies BACK to the group...

[Paul Henning]

This is one of the best lists to which I subscribe. There was just a large
discussion on a different list which went on for months about all replies
going to the list and the difficulty some people have with posting private
replies to the list by mistake. There are a "Reply" and a "Reply to All"
button on many e-mail systems which on this list work correctly. These
buttons allow me or anyone else to post a reply to an individual or the list
by simply pressing the correct button, no cut, no paste, no BS. This list
works correctly, LEAVE IT ALONE please!

I for one, think this is a bad idea.  It is a lot easier to hit "reply all" 
or the equivalent, and just keep in mind whether or not the reflector would 
be interested, than it is to remember which reflectors default one way and 
which the other.  I suggest that reply to the sender should be the rule, to 
save everyone from the embarrassment that can result when a private message 
to a friend goes to 1000 people.
