Hub mentioned a new list policy in an email earlier this week.
I did not understand it clearly the first time I read it but from the
follow ups I realised that he did not want people to Reply-To: the list
with regard to that message specifically and only that message.
His comment about the Reply-To: was not a new statement of list policy it
but rather it was a seperate request his way of saying that he hoped we
would not waste even more email talking about damned SoBig.F and other
Microsoft Negligence.
And besides, his announcement was crossposted to both lists and people
should not cross post in response. I will have to update the FAQ to
strongly advise against cross posting in most cases.
English is a funny old language.
Sincerely
