I think I'm going to have to start using some of my partner's special
revitalising conditioner...

Seriously though, very interesting. I think once upon a blue moon I
did actually learn those rules...

PS I agree with you: I wish the default would be to reply to list, and
not to poster. This isn't the type of list where private discourse is
the norm and the only thing it does is increase the number of posts
coming into posters' mail boxes since the easiest solution is to
reply-all. There are one or two Ubuntu lists that do have reply
directly to list.
