Re: [orca-list] Misconfiguration in Mailman for this list.

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

I may be feeling snarky, but let me predict the future:

  Person A sends out e-mail.

  Person B replies, thinking e-mail is going to just person A.

  Person B is embarrassed because they didn't intend for the
  content to be viewed by anyone except A.  

  Persons A, B, C, and D angrily approach me demanding
  a change.

My predictions for the future are based upon hassles I've received in 
the past.  I'm not sure there is a way to please everyone here and I opt 
for leaving the list the way it is.

Sorry,

Will
