I don't agree. I feel it is much better to make it simple for people to reply
to messages in this forum. After all, we want it to be as easy as possible
for those of use who really wish to reply to post articles. Making it a chore
for some will just hinder this. I enjoy the ease of just replying to the
articles without having to remember a bunch of list addresses. After all,
serveral of us subscribe to quite a few more lists then just the lightwave
list. I would hate to have to remember addresses for each and every one of
them so that I could post to them. Besides, people usually figure it out
pretty quickly once they post personal mail to the list once. <grin>
