Any such argument will be pointless. This list has been in operation for 17 years now, and the argument was settled long ago. Basically, most list members expressed no preference. The tiny minority that did express a preference was split roughly 50-50, and both sides generally seemed to feel that their way was the One True Way and that only a drooling moron could possibly disagree with their side. There are solid arguments for both sides, so it cannot be resolved on technical grounds. And voting on the question would not resolve anything, it would either change nothing, or merely swap which half of the tiny minority was unhappy. Actually, that's not entirely accurate. Arbitrarily changing the list behavior any time someone wanted a new vote would be disruptive to the silent majority that don't care which way it's set but who expect the list to behave consistently. So if you want to argue your case on the Reply-To matter, you should know that at best, your argument will be ignored by the list admins. We consider the matter to be closed. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix OLD GnuPG KeyID: D5C7B5D9 / Email: abreauj at gmail.com OLD GnuPG FP: 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 2011 GnuPG KeyID: 32A492D8 / Email: abreauj at gmail.com 2011 GnuPG FP:
