I would like to point out that the old problem of
getting too many emails from a list is no longer an issue
for me, and I suspect this is true for many of the
suscribers on the list. I filter everything with 'CCl' in
the Subject line, putting it in a separate mailbox that I
examine at my leisure.
I use the CCl mailbox as a type of database, and it
is more important to me that answers to questions be
findable in the database than that I get fewer emails.
Also, I will admit that the possibility that an easy
question has already been answered by someone else has
kept me from answering a great many questions - if someone
else has already answered a question, why should I bother?
So overall, I think the list would end up more useful to
people if the responses went to the whole list.
