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

[Jesper Aagaard Petersen]

Hello all.

Long time listener, first time caller.

I think we should move beyond the "it's easy to do (this and
that)"-arguments, as we must assume the members of this list have some
digital literacy; they just sound like snipe remarks to me. Yes, we can
easily integrate this change into our practices, but the reaction from a
large group of participants should be accepted as real and not just
conservative sentiments.

On a personal level, I really liked the old setting; I agree with the
argument that a public list should reflect that in its settings. I think
there's a big difference between a listserv and an extended address book of
contacts; I want the first and not the second. Basically it is a value
judgement on my part, and both settings could work for me on a technical
level.

Finally, I think the discussion has moved to a point where an "official"
comment from the exec comm could be useful?

Best,

Jesper (who by the way learned to play and enjoy Fantasy Football *through
this list*).

agree with the many other good arguments in favor the original system of
default reply to the listserv. By the way, my Yahoo mail just gets my post
bounced if I press _either_ "reply to" or "reply all". At least that's what
happens with the standard settings, maybe there's a way to change that.
Otherwise I usually press the hotworded address I want to reply to. I assume
I'm interpreting "reply to" correctly in the discussion, maybe not......
