that doesn't make any sense.  THE PEOPLE YOU'RE REPLYING TO ARE ALREADY
PART OF THE LIST AND WILL GET THE MESSAGE WITHOUT YOU ADDING THEIR NAME TO
THE CC: LIST.  This then will reply only to the person who sent the
message unless you reply all and remove everyone but the list.  VERY
ANNOYING.  This is just a pet peeve of mine, but I'll leave over it,
that's for sure.  I'm not that fancy of a perl coder anyway, so its no big
loss for you.

In my mind, it inhibits posting to the list.  There have been several
times I have not posted for this very reason.  I was in a good mood
tonight, and went throught the very simple, but very annoying steps, then
my piece of shit ISP disconnected me, and now I'm furious.  I don't live
in Alaska, and for the most part all ISPs up there are great, but this one
here doesn't seem to  understand that sending out maintanance notices and
downtime windows to everyone is worth losing all the customers they're
losing.

Anyway, now I'm furious, and i'm posting out of anger.  I don't post when
I have something to say, only when I'm happy or angry, and that's not the
kind of behavior a list should encourage, at least I don't think so.
