[TheForge] Careful with your replies guys

[Marc]

This is just a presonal preference for me.  I've worked with lists both ways 
and just prefer replies to sender.  I'm accustomed to do a reply to all, but 
sometimes I don't feel my reply has anything to add to a discussion. So for 
me, it's more of a "this button or that button" choice.  The other way it's a 
"this button or hold-mouse-button-and-drag-select From: address then <ctl>-C 
then move cursor to To: then select entire address and hit <ctl>-V".

Also, most lists I've been on that send replies to the list get cluttered 
with "Thanks", "Me too", and "Nice job!" replies.  Each one of those 
generates hundreds of emails. So now instead of one person hitting Delete 6 
times, it's 800 people hitting Delete once.

Again, just a personal preference - I'm easily adaptable.  I'm also easily 
distracted by rusty objects, so what do I know?
