   the address whenever replying to the list. Also error-prone.

Sorry, I disagree.  Of course, my email programs* allow me to reply to
either just the author (Reply-To or From) or the author and everyone
on the To: and Cc: lists.  In fact, my opinion is that any email
program that doesn't allow both is broken and should be fixed.

   To Yuri Sorkin: your e-mail address bounces... that's not exactly a
   friendly gesture, signing on this list with a bogus address.

Yuri has been on this list and part of GIMPS, including providing and
testing programs, from very early on; I think it's far more likely
that his mail server is experiencing problems.  In any case, the
listserv software automatically drops addresses that bounce too many
times or something similar.  I myself have been caught by that last
two or three times when my mail server was having problems.
