The list owner/moderator sets the reply preferences within the yahoo
group. The default can be reply to list or reply to sender. The
preferences have been debated endlessly on the groups since long
before yahoo purchased them from (?, there's a senior moment, I've forgotten).
Anyway, a valuable life lesson is that in business or personal or
public communication, you might want to ∗always∗ check the To: and
CC: distribution lines prior to clicking "send". A quick spell check
is also helpful.
My (Fortune 500) company is awash in idiotic "me too" and "thanks"
emails from people who think "reply to all" is a cool thing.
Meanwhile, I hope to receive my first MOTM gear soon (a 650 and a
triple resonant filter). These shall not be my last.
Take care,
