[PCR-1000] list setup sucks (was best antenna)

[Dale Ireland]

OK, good points, but why should you have to hit "reply to all" and then go
back and delete all the individual addresses off the address list in order
to send a message just to the list when the whole point is to communicate
via the list. I mean sending to the list should be the priority not sending
privately, that's why you join the list
