This is true. Depends on various things.
Here I have to do "reply all" then remember to delete the "personal" address. One can forget to intervene.
Dunno which MUA you use (can't be bothered looking) but for me it2 works here correctly by default and for other lists I set my MUA to do the appropriate thing when I hit reply‑list.
Not meant to be annoying, but, there it is.
but it is annoying and on you to control your chosen mail client. perhaps you need to make *specific* configurations for mail lists you find it necessary to "reply all". my client recognizes configured mail lists and replies to the list and it is on me to *make* it do otherwise.
That approach is the fast way to my bit‑bucket :) i.e. you may not get many replies if you persist in being impolite.
I was not attempting at all to be impolite. Just stating a fact to explain what I expect to be a RARE transgression.
But it seems YOU are attempting to "make a statement" that seems rather confrontational, instantly judgmental and frankly, rude.
I consider lists like this to be quite useful for technical matters and quite inappropriate as a place for snark and ego games.
while the OPs wording may have been somewhat critical, you are trying to redirect the problem as a defense.
Been in this business for 5 Decades in various capacities.
and you are probably younger than I am, but if "5 Decades" is indeed true, you should be more critical of yourself as I recall that little latitude was given in the early days.
If I misjudged your comments, my apologies.
maybe better to just correctly configure your chosen mail client. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc What sort of day was it?
