A properly designed reflector will give the user the CHOICE of
"Reply to sender" and "Reply to All" or "Reply to List."  This
software is so crippled by the moderator's configuration that
it is nearly impossible to reply to sender without using "new"
and looking up the poster's e-mail address.

That's completely narcissistic, xenophobic, unnecessary and short
sighted in today's global society.  Any moderator who doesn't have
time to respond reasonably to an occasional non-English posting
doesn't have the time to be a proper moderator and should step
aside.
