All you are doing is rehashing an argument that has taken place over
and over. You don't like the list, then unsubscribe. Simple.

The OP could have presented his request differently, but I don't think
a binary answer in the spirit of "love it or leave it" is particularly
helpful. The method of handling Reply-To: in this mailing list is in
the minority, and even if people believe it to be better, that puts the
burden of explanation on us. Having the question come up over and over
again, followed by a generally unsuccessful attempt to convince the
questioner that everyone else does it wrong, is the price of doing
things this way.


I didn't say what I said on his first rant, it was his second. I
pointed him to to rules of conduct and told him to abide them or to
leave if he didn't like it. I stand by my post. I adapted my way of
using e-mail for this list, he can do the same. Look back through the
thread and you'll see that I offered a suggestion that he use a decent
client, just like a few other people did.

When he came back telling us what to do, well....

Do you think it's appropriate for someone to come on this list and bash
Debian for not being what they want instead of asking Debian users how
to achieve what they want?

It's just as bad as people moving into a country and then telling the
natives to modify their culture to suit them. It should be the other
way around.
