[Air-L] Change of default reply setting on air-l

[Dominik M. Rosenauer]

I second all said contra the change, so I do not repeat it. In addition 
I also learn from the vital discussions. I would not see them if people 
only replied to each other, right? Answering right now took me three 
deletes (deleting emma's mail from the TO and Dans too (maybe because 
emmas reply was a reply on Dan?

I do think that most of AoIR is *this list*. ruining it would ruin AoIR.

and additionally it is complete nonsense too: if I look for the groups 
knowledge and write a question to the list: maybe 20 people will answer 
me separately with the exact same answer? this would not be very 
helpful, hm?

best
