I made the same error; I didn't check the to: line when I replied to
Mark's post.  Of course, in my current situation, oversights like that
are instant fire-fodder.

Maybe it's possible to adjust the reply-to or something similar so
that this doesn't happen by accident; maybe someday SVLUG will
implement a change similar to that for the announce list.

Yes, indeed, Christian, you've mastered the art of communication to
the extent that I've never felt you were arguing with me, but always
felt that you were discussing things, and providing me with your point
of view - which is a distinctly
different and much more valuable contribution than blatant disagreement.

To that end, I urge you to remain active and vocal within the group,
as it will help set an example for others.
