"Demolished" is mere opinion, not fact. That cite omits discussion of two key characteristics of public discussion lists: 1-Subscribers don't receive messages from authors, they receive messages from listservs. 2-The principle of least surprise dictates that public messages automatically receive public replies in the absence of special handling by those who wish their message to go someplace other than from whence it came. The message each subscriber received did not come directly from any author, and consequently it should not be expected to go directly back to any author. -- "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
