Please, let's don't. I'm on this list in the hopes of sharing
information. Therefore I expect my responses to list traffic to appear
to the list as a whole. I am on several other lists and seldom have had
any reason to address individuals privately. When a person crosses that
boundary between fellow-listmember and friend, I add them to my private
e-mail address book and communicate with them off-list same as any other
friend. But list business is list business, and IMHO the reply-to
address should be the list address to keep it that way.
