[LA.pm] The odds of finger games

[Erick Calder]

I'm subscribed to a number of other mailing lists which handle the replies
differently... I keep getting double messages because it's annoying to
reply-all and then remove everything but the mailing-list address so no one
does it (except for me)...

anyone care to second a motion to make this more usable?

True ... but one should not EXPECT domain.tld to produce www.domain.tld just
because one happens to hit it with an HTTP client. (Any more than I expect
openbsd.org to redirect to ftp.openbsd.org just because I happen to make an
FTP request ...)
