No seriously, when was this vote? 1993? How many people voted? How well do they represent the current people on the list? When is the next election? That are questions that should be asked when someone says "there was a vote".
It was about 2 years ago... I think.
You have to wonder.. the fact that this comes up over and over and over and over seems to show that maybe there is a problem here. Of course when you raise the question, you're just told you're stupid and to use a real mail client etc., etc.
This discussion is as absurd as those about vi versus emacs. The FAQ: Q7. Why do my replies go to the original poster and not the list? A7. There is a more complete answer in FAQ, but the short answer is that it's better this way. Trust us on this one, please. ... Q2. Why do my replies go to the original poster and not the list? A2. We do not "munge" the mail headers by inserting a "Reply-To: suse-linux-e@suse.com" because it makes it more difficult subscribers to handle the mail the way they want to. Your mail client probably has a "reply" function as well as a "reply to all" or "reply to list" one; Please use the latter if you want you message to go to the list and not just to the original poster. Also, please don't complain about this on the list, it has been discussed many, many, many times in the past already. For background information see http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
My favorite is the excuse that it is like this so that you can easily contact people off-list. like that is the reason we are on this mailing list.. to contact everyone privately, and we all reply privately all the time... instead of to the list.
Another is that it blocks autoresponder loops. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
