What can I say -- if it's the direct offspring of Netscrape I avoid it
like the plague (with the exception of FireFox since that's the only

For sale lists :). People post items for sale/wanted and replies
should only go to the individuals making the original posts.

But, for something like the Ubuntu lists, reply-to sender is bad netiquette!
