I am open to whatever cures the add-on text that says that I am not a verified 
user (or some such "alternative fact" words). :)

(I have no clue whether I am the only one seeing this text ...)

P.S. Thanks, Carol, for maintaining this list!

Subject: [Framers] Up for discussion: changing Framers' default Reply-To 
behavior

In the "old days" of this list, it was expected that a poster would summarize 
the comments received, especially any that were sent off-list. These days, most 
of us don't have time for that and we miss so much good information that could 
help us all. I know that often someone posts something that I want to watch for 
replies, only to never read another word on the subject except a mention of all 
the great off-list replies.

Related to this is what I find to be a major pain in the a**-- pressing Ctrl-R 
and forgetting that my reply will go only to the original poster. I have to 
then find the Framers email address, copy/paste it into the header or a new 
email, and resend the message. 
I think this may be contributing to the propensity of off-list replies.

When I originally set up this new Framers list, I opted to set the default 
Reply-To behavior to send only to the poster and not the list because it was 
the recommended action for new lists. I'm beginning to really regret that 
decision. So as List Mom, I'd like to change the default reply behavior to go 
to the list and not to the sender. I realize that this might create situations 
that could prove embarrassing if one accidentally sends a private reply to the 
entire list. I'm willing to entertain valid arguments both pro and con to this 
change in list behavior. I'd prefer receiving them off-list
([email protected]) unless you feel that your argument merits all
1089 of us taking the time to read it. I won't make this decision unilaterally 
-- this list belongs to all of us and relies on all of us to provide good 
content and helpful advice.

Bear in mind that if I DO make this change, I will give plenty of advance 
warning and repeat it a few times before making the change so that we all have 
time to retrain our brains.
