[Dxbase] Another suggestion

It was merely a suggestion, I guess it is a only minor annoyance for the original poster to get 
the post twice when responders use "Reply all".

  There are hundreds of mail clients out there, everyone is different, 
  but virtually all have a REPLY and a REPLY ALL feature.  REPLY goes 
  to the sender, REPLY ALL goes to everyone, which means the list 
  too.  So, what about the habit of people who "hit reply" and expect 
  it to go to just the sender?  Seems logical to me.  But that is the 
  point.  What seems logical to one person doesn't always seem logical 
  to the next.  My opinion - the list is set up correctly, such that I 
  have the choice of sending to all or just the author.
