At least we know some of the reasons for your not "understanding" the issues involved [as per your previous note]. A different view is that if you don't have time to really consider the problem and learn something about it, perhaps you shouldn't espouse such a strong opinion on it. It isn't like a new issue and that you're nearly the very first person to make the observation about 'reply-to'. > I am just trying to comfort people which are using very regular MUA's > (emailclients), and which are interested in SQLite and maybe less in all > kind of longstanding debates only interesting for grey haired oldies > which call everybody who is using the Internet less then ten years a > newcomer. Better to 'comfort', I guess, than presume that over the thirty years that folks have been doing email others have already pondered some of these issues and that folk might actually try to learn from their experience and advice. sigh -- > I thought, this mailing list was about SQLite and communicating about it. > This discussion about longlasting debates is really not very interesting > to me, nor to most people, most people want to have easy acces to a > mailinglist, Just so -- that's why some of us have just suggested that the list be set up using the 'best practices' that have been honed over the [many] years and be done with it. I believe it was *YOU* who were banging this drum, rather than just leaving the issue alone. > OK, let's vote, there is no other way. Not true: this isn't a democracy.
