GB> What BA's Use the 2625w Tube?

With all due respect to the "Rev. Fr." , that's a lousy way to do it.
Most lists do it the way this list does, and most people like it.  It's
very hard for some of us to remember which (few) lists go to "everyone"
when reply is used, and as a result sometimes personal notes intended for
the sender only get sent to the complete list.  I have argued against the
way you suggest on the 1 or 2 lists I'm on that do it that way.  I'm on 10
or 12 lists in total.  I think more people are able to remember that
"reply to all" means just that & includes the sender, than can remember
that "reply" means "reply to all and not to the sender directly".
