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 it 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.
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. Been in this business for 5 Decades in various capacities. If I misjudged your comments, my apologies. joe a.
