Personally, I would like to hit "Reply" and have the message go to
the group, rather than to the individual who wrote the last

both the group and the last writer, but that should not be
necessary. No other group I belong to behaves this way.
I don't remember why or where but I've seen a website somewhere
which explains why it's bad to have replies go to the list.
Seen some very ugly mailloops when braindead autoresponders
responded on their own out of the office messages.
For those who think they are treated badly by more experienced
users, please read the following:

Yes, one should STFW and RTFM, and yes, I have been in considerably
more than one situation in which I wanted to tell someone the answer
was right under their nose if they chose to look for it, but in case
no one has noticed, most FMs and much of the FW are not written in
such a fashion that someone unaccustomed to the terminology and
syntaxes (i.e., a newbie) can easily pick it up.
I seriously doubt that those so obviously irritated by questions
they've already seen and possibly have already answered would be
responding in the same fashion if the exchange was happening
face-to-face. I also doubt that these same people appreciated this
kind of treatment when they were new to Procmail.
Is this list here to help people or for the elite and experienced to
show off to one another? Maybe there should be more than one level of
Procmail list: one for those willing to help and one for those not.
