No, please.
Ciao Francesco,
Why do you think so?
Could you elaborate?
Sure, I'm sorry for the first mail being so terse in the first place.
Perhaps because you think that several debian-legal subscribers won't be
interested?
Or rather because you think that subscribing a mailing list to another
one is not a good idea (from a technical point of view)?
Or because [fill in the blank, please]?
I think the technical aspects of subscribing one mailing list to another
make such a setup ineffective in terms of cross-communication. One
would get the bad effects of cross-posting, where people may not be able
to necessarily follow up to what is being said on the gpl3 list from
debian-legal, without subscribing to it first, or someone waving them
through mailmain. In addition one would get the same mails twice if one
is subscribed to both lists, and that would seem to be an as ineffective
use of network resources as CC:ing people on replys. ;)
P.S.:
Last time I checked, the code of conduct[1] recommended to reply
to the list only, *unless* the original poster explicitly request to be
Cc:ed.
I'm a debian-legal subscriber and I didn't ask to be Cc:ed (or
To:ed...): please avoid replying to me directly. Thanks.
Thanks for the hint, I'm sorry for the inconvenience the CC: has caused
you, and I'll make sure to avoid it in the future.
cheers,
