I think I'll refrain from commenting here, because you are clearly in
too foul of a mood. You are subscribed to the wrong lists. The
closest to a free-for-all with no standards to be civil is, well, this
list.
In years past, you would be referred to as an aoler. You apparently
are rather short of tooth.
Yes. And since procmail is useful for those sorts of duplicates, it is
safe to assume that if someone does not want two copies they will have the
rules in place. Since a good sized mailing list can take hours to
propogate whereas an individual email is very fast, it is polite to
respond to the sender. If that individual does not want duplicates, he or
she will filter out the duplicate.
No, there is a header that indicates the poster *wants* a direct reply.
It is called "Reply-To:". All you are doing with duplicate posts is
contributing to the email load on the net. Persons on dialup and/or
rated service are paying for your inconsideration.
