"Those that set their email software to direct your reply to themselves, personally, are indicating that they want a personal reply, in addition to a copy you send to the list -- you should always send a copy to the list so that all may benefit, but those directing your response to them, personally, should have their wishes honored. This is usually handled automatically when one replies to 'All'." I find this whole squabble absolutely hilarious and ridiculous. The sheer hubris required to claim others are violating guidelines, manufactured uproar, and yet are themselves so egregiously unaware of what those guidelines say. "Don't be aggressive to new posters, but instead help them on their way to become a part of our community, sometimes a private email may be appropriate, to explain something" I love this. Maladaptive curmudgeons are themselves utterly wrong on what the guidelines say and have the gall to chew out a new poster. Newly changed rules? Nope.
