Mailing list administration, was Re: Announcing 1.2a8 (stability, monitor hotplug, "are you sure you want to quit?", xephyr)

I'm going to deviate from total professionalism here and point out that this discussion is *entirely* academic, since the alledged administrator of this list won't even respond to *my* emails.

:(

But even if you don't use the function much, being able to reply to
the sender is useful.  If you set the Reply-To to the list, then the
only way to reply privately is to copy and paste their email address.

I understand the reasoning for how it's theoretically simpler this

go to the list, that I typically (pause while I realize that even this
time I forgot to push reply-to-all...DANG IT--there, fixed it) don't
remember to press reply-to-all on the two lists that I've ever
encountered that subscribe to this philosophy. What's the point of a
public list if the default reply option is a private message?
