And so it does. The errant reply to the list is not that often seen,
though in the eyes of the senders (and I've been one on another list) it
can be one too many or at least seem that way because of the
embarrassment it can cause. But the other way (replay to author) is also
a pia in that one is (and I speak for myself) constantly forgetting that
th4e response is going only to the author and great thoughts and
contributions to the on-going discussion are lost. I would rather the
infrequent embarassment of a private letter sent to the list than a
public contribution not made.

It's really easy to hit delete on messages you don't want to bother with
and by just reading the subj or author line you can usually tell which
those are at a glance. And yes, I know, one should never just a message
by its cover.
