[sdiy] let's stop with the CCs, please...

[Roy J. Tellason]

It's an annoying characteristic of this particular list (and no other out of 
the numerous lists I carry here) that hitting "reply" seems to want to send 
the reply to the original poster rather than the list.  I've commented on 
this before,  and have not gotten any sort of positive response nor any 
inclination that things might be changed.

I run kmail here,  and have this list set so that "reply" goes to the list 
anyway.

Apparently other folks have to use their "reply to all" function,  which means 
I get a copy on the list and I get a copy dumped in my inbox.

Please edit your replies so that I don't end up with this happening here.  
What I end up with is any thread that I post to dumping more and more copies 
of stuff any time anybody posts further into that thread,  one of the reasons 
wny my participation in here has been limited.

I'd really rather keep my inbox clear for other things.  I can set up filters,  
but to have to do another one every time somebody posts a reply would get a 
little old after a while,  and I should have to do this.

So if you guys could save the email direct-to-me for when you want to direct 
something to me and leave them out the rest of the time I'd really appreciate 
it...
