That's not actually true either. The convention is to reply to the
list with material that is edifying to the list, or to the author
alone if the situation calls for it. Using reply-all sends the author
a copy as well as putting it on-list, which is unnecessary (unless
it's likely the author isn't subscribed). It's completely unnecessary
to include the list in what's not of interest.

And here I am, posting on-list something that's completely necessary.
(sigh* Alex, Dwight, can you two please cool down a bit? A little
calmness would improve this discussion significantly, methinks.
