Usually, the safe thing is to reply-to-all. It may not seem a big thing to people getting 20-30 emails per day. I get 200 to 300, and most of the days, only 30-50 are spam. Most others are from mailing lists, and I invariably have to delete a lot of them without reading them, just because I run out of time. So it is not only a matter of courtesy, it is a matter of practicability. If you want me to see your answer, make sure you address it to me personally so that I will not delete it together with a bunch of others _not_ directed to me. And BTW this is a real problem for me. So much so, that I actually started to lose replies that would have been interesting to me. > I've been a user of the internet since 1990, long enough to remember the > shrieks of horror that greeted people from .COM domains, and especially > AOL users.
