Maybe, maybe not :-)

What happens, when you select reply to all?
My main complaint is that if I want to reply to you privately, I have 
to cut and paste your address.

It might be my mail client, but this is the only list that has this 
useful feature.
But, not to worry as I have just thought of a solution, utilizing 
procmail and a small perl script.

I know it's not that hard, but usually I select reply to all and remove 
the address's I don't want.
Of course the other reason is lazyiness. I find it easier to remember 
list@xxxxxxxxxxxx than the 4000 subscribed members, so I type dc, my 
email client fills in the rest :-)
