Hi :) +1 to the point that conversations begun on the mailing list should stay on-list.
I really liked that i could just "reply to" this post and it went straight to the list without also going to a selection of other people. That is the way this mailing list used to work all the time and it prevented all sorts of problems. The only 1 we had to watch out for was making sure unsubscribed people were included.
