Hello,
I couldn't see the advantage of replying *not* to the whole list.
Even the "let's summarize the answers and post them later"-argument is not
really convincing: B writes his opinion, A writes her opinion; no opinion
is discussed and the power of such concentrated knowledge as it is
available in this mailing list has not been used.
No one is hurt by receiving a few more mails, or?
And the intention of such a mailing list is IMHO sharing thoughts and
discussing controversial topics which could not be done by behaving like a
support forum: one asks and receives single answers.
Let's discuss, that's life!
Best wishes,
Gero Langer
