I don't know which mail program you use, but mine allows me the choice 
of replying to the to or the from address or both at once. 9 times out of 
10 I reply to the list not the sender.  I suspect that figure would hold 
true with most posters.  I must admit I'm begining to tire of all the 
traffic in personal reply mail and the constant large bodies of unedited 
included text that has nothing to due with the reply.  Answers to 
questions never asked that run to 5k or more are also appearing with 
increasing frequency.  Simply reading the original queries more carefully 
would solve that.  However all this stuff is nothing.  If you want to 
whine sign up for Blues-L for a day or two.  A constant stream of 
mindless drivel and minutiae with miles of included text and numerous 
responses that should have gone off net.  A good post is one in ten if 
that. Did I forget cliquey?  FJM
