Yes, but am I the only one not too happy to get duplicated of followups
to each message I've commented on?
I'm prefectly happy with a reply to the list and don't need a double
set (i.e. the list AND my private mailbox). There are enough messages
to the list alone.
That's why I've been asking for a digest too.

I thought mailing lists were sort of "mini-newsgroups" where the
intention was for several people to come together and discuss things.
The exception would be to reply privately, wouldn't it?
And the "usual thing to do" should in my opinion be the most
straightforward and easy thing to figure out (i.e. noe cut/paste).

(OOPS!!! I almost did that mistake myself -sending this one off to you
privately instead of the list as I forgot to replace the address.
Caught it just as I was pressing "send" though)...
