I think it says a lot that there have been so many discussions on this 
subject, most in favour of *change*, yet nothing changes.

It also says a lot that I have *never* seen this discussion even occur 
on "reply to list" setups; not in years of using said. Could this, by 
any chance, be because on "reply to list" setups everybody is generally 
happy, whereas on "reply to sender" lists there are generally folks who 
find it difficult to remember to mess around with the "to:" when 
replying, and others who get annoyed because threads just disappear, 
when the person who finally solves the problem forgets to do the 
aforementioned "tweaking" in order to ensure the list gets to see their 
answer?

I would like to see a poll carried out, and I would like to see the 
wishes of the majority being implemented; whatever the "list owner"'s 
own vote happens to be... I hate the term "list owner", btw, for 
community... "list facilitator" is better... in a community forum there 
should be no "owner".
