I just think that we should leave the list the way it is and just hit "reply all" and then remove the senders name and just send to the list. I don't have no problem with how the list works, just don't want duplicate E-mails. I doubt SuSE is going to change their ways because, to my knowledge it is a security concern and im willing to stand beside that fact and just remove the senders name from the "To:" field.

The logical thing is that replies go to the **list** and not to individuals. Most everyone I know who wants to reply wants to reply to the list so that everyone sees the answer. If you want 1:1 communication, you use email. If you want m:n, you use mailing lists or newsgroups. I find it extremely annoying to have to hit "reply all".
And no, it is not getting out of hand. It's annoying, just like having to reboot with every little changes in Windows. Yes, we can ignore the fact that it makes no sense and continue to be annoyed, or we can express our opinion and if enough people want it changed, it get's changed. That's what democracy and Linux are all about.

But I agree with you 100%. Every other list I have *ever* joined works by just hitting 'reply', but some of the S.O.B.'s on the SuSE list think that their way is the 'pure' way. And I think I'm going to drop that list just because of it. More because of the attitude than having to spend the time to make sure the mail goes to the right place.
