At the risk of starting a non-windurfing-related discussion on
this distribution
list, I've been meaning for some time to request that whoever
owns the wind_talk
server please stop it from tagging a "Reply-To: wind_talk..."
field on outgoing messages.
On the surface this sounds sensible, but over the past year I
don't know how
many messages have gone to ALL of us that were intended only for
one person.
It's just too easy to hit Reply thinking that it's going to the
sender.
Sometimes embarassing, mostly just a waste of everyone's time.
If we want
to do a Reply-All, we all know how to do that.

P.S. If you want to send your input on this to ME ALONE, I'm
happy to collect all
your votes/email and forward it to whoever is in charge... thank
you...
