Some folks actually consider it a politness to be additionally addressed
in replies to lists, for a number of reasons;

	1) the list may be moderated, and moderation can sometimes hinder
	communications, the moderator may explude a fully relevant post...

	2) lists processing delays;  again, can inhibit and alter the
	communication channel

	3) sometimes it's just damnright polite to hit the person<s>
	directly, in advance of a posting going into a more public domain.

	4) you have a much better chance, all things above considered of
	having the reply make it to the originator, who's benefit surely
	is at least equal to the lists, at large, if not more so.
	Alllowing *me* more control over the communication attempted.

This topic has struck here I think in the past, and various other lists, I
wish to make it clear to all, feel free to always chose to include my
address in the response, though I do not promise to always read them
nor reply, your chances that I will are enhanced greatly by doing so, hell
yer welcome to reply to me directly and cheat the list out of the whole
affair, the same non-promise stated above applied... <smile>.


Thanks,

Ron DuFresne

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
