why doesn't have this list a "reply-to" ?

[Dick Crepeau]

It seems to me the original question was how can I reply to a posted 
message.

I'm new here and see that while there are replies to several messages, 
many times, like with this note, the issue is brought up as if it is new.

I don't know how to do a reply, can someone tell me how?  This note was 
sent to: python-list at python.org with the subject copied from an earlier 
note.

No need to discuss the politics of the choice.
