there is at least one good reason why folks do not do this any more:
spammers collect addresses of people from usenet and mailing list
posts. some of the better list software now create archives that
blank out a section of the sender's address to make it unusable. of
course there are other ways for spammers to collect addresses from
list posts, but it is still worthwhile to make their job difficult,
if only a bit more.

as for getting the list member's address you can find it in the
headers of each message that is sent to the list, in all the popular
mailreaders today: mozilla, netscape, eudora, outlook, etc. if you
use mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org/ - warning: this is pre-release
software) you can even copy that header using a helpful popup menu
right from the header and paste it into the recepient field of your
response.

i dont follow a lot of these references either, to be honest, but
then again i dont follow the habermas stuff very well either, and as
a newbie, i am just glad to be humoured around here!

the question i have for michael perelman is: do economics professors
and theorists usually frequent lap dancers? ;-)
