It's not "common sense", in any way. Someone who's never used mailing lists before will not just inherently understand this without needing instruction. Rather, it's a learned behavior that is obtained by interacting with the community and learning what the community standards and practices are. And of course those can change for different communities. The problem is that the people who most need the help are often new users who don't have any understanding of these standards yet. Different types of lists may make different decisions, but user help lists should be as inclusive as possible, and that means allowing posts from non-subscribers and replying to all, not just to the mailing list, to ensure non-subscribers are not dropped. Anyway, that's the way I run my mailing lists and the way I'll continue to interact with other, similarly-targeted lists, by default. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
