Can I politely ask that you try and contain your random abusiveness, or at
least refrain from it on the list? It's not constructive, doesn't help
anyone and I'm sure I'm not the only person who finds it annoying. That
someone uses their MUA to reply to both the sender and the list does not
make them a "clueless fuckwit" - it is their choice surely? I often do
so myself, and I've seen Philip, Nigel and others do so on the list.

Indeed, the list doesn't set a Reply-To, so many people will have their MUAs
setup in the same was as I do - reply goes to the poster, group reply to
poster and the list. (This post to the list only so as to not incur your
wrath)

Please can we keep things civil?

Just my 2p.

- Mark.
