Duane,

I understand all of that, but in English, Reply means to answer a sender, and 
Reply To All means about the same as Broadcast.  Having it programmed such 
that Reply To All sends two copies to the entire list is "not the most efficient 
use of bandwidth".  Which is a polite way of saying something else.

So call it "an unexpected response by the system that resulted in an 
unintended action".  Not that I said anything that I didn't want the rest of list to 
see, but since no one else had responded, I didn't figure it was a topic of any 
interest, and I was being polite by not bothering everyone with it again.  So 
since we're free to politely disagree, I'll disagree and still call it 
backwards.  For example, when someone posts an FS to a list, why should all of the 
list members have to get the Reply traffic.  Unless you want it, it was a Best 
Offer over some amount and you're smart enough to wait a bit and see how many 
interested parties are foolish enough to post their offers "in the clear".  
:-)
