I agree - neither system is perfect. I just wish the (IMHO) 'common
case' of wanting to sent group communications back to the group didn't
require extra work. The main justification I've seen for this is
"some geek wrote a paper about how he embarassed himself one time.."
btw - spammers must lists using this style. They can just subscribe a
bot to the list, and harvest people's addresses as messages go by....
