If I post to the list, I expect a reply via the list. Getting two replies |
| 8 |
is annoying, especially if I don't realise the private one is a duplicate |
| 9 |
and reply to it before checking the list. One of the main points of a list |
| 10 |
is that it is a public discussion, archived for all to see, fragmenting |
| 11 |
conversations into private mail defeats that point. |
