Ditto for the BBC Micro list Dennis. Got bit when I 1st subscribed there 
and, not being a regular poster there, will probably do so for the next 20 
years as well... every other mailing list and usenet newsgroup for that 
matter replies to the list, as it should.

The old adage "You posted it here, you read the response here" applies IMHO. 
Not to say you can't send personal replies of course, but the default 
behaviour makes sense to me.

And yes, it is a touchy subject Stephen, as I found out on the 
above-mentioned BBC Micro list! "Here we go again" was the theme of the more 
polite responses... ;)

Regards,
