Folks,
every now and then private mails end up on this list because it is
still set to automatically "Reply to List" even although this is not
recommended. "Reply to List" is my personal favorite because I never
think much when hitting reply and always intend to address the list.
Whenever I do write a personally insulting or private mail it is
intentional and I know what I am doing. But most other people seem to
work the other way round. (Ha, that was a nice global insult)

Now: Changing this setting is a big thing to do. And there will be
exactly two [1] exactly opposite [2] opinions on which way round it
should be done. And each party has perfect arguments.

Protecting the personal integrity of people is more important than
being lazy, so I [3] changed this setting AS OF NOW. This means that
you will now have to hit "Reply List" to talk to the world or "Reply
All" and manually remove individuals. Sorry for the extra work.

Thank you for your attention and happy mailing.
Arnulf

recommend you to get a new one in the elections this fall, this one is
becoming overly narcissistic).
