[NTLUG:Discuss] List policy

[Seth Daniel]

Since I use mutt I just hit "L" when I want to reply to the
list, and I hit "r" when I want to reply to the poster.  At 
least, I used to be able to do that.  Other lists that I am 
on tend to not set the Reply-To address.

I tend to agree that as much of the content as possible should
be posted to the list.  Generally when I do reply to a post
I post to the list instead of directly to the person who posted.

I guess I'm saying that I agree with your point, but not the
way you're going about enforcing it.  :o)

It's not as if I'm going to un-subscribe depending on the 
outcome of this though.
