I almost feel I shouldn't be sending this message, because the sundial
list is supposed to be for messages about sundials, not for messages
about default reply-to options for the sundial list.  But I don't want
my silence to be misconstrued, and so I offer my 2 cents....

I rarely respond to sundial list messages.  When I do, I take note of
the address listed in the reply-to field.  If it's not the address I
want to reply to, I have to do a little typing.  No big deal.  So, the
recent change has little effect on me.

What might have been a more welcome change would be changing the From:
field to the sundial list.  That way, I could by glancing at my inbox
know which emails pertain to sundials and which do not.  Regardless, it
hasn't been a big issue for me.  I read the list for pleasure, and if I
want to worry about something, I find something worth worrying about. 
The header options for the list just don't fall into that category.

One final note -- and maybe it's just me.  I feel like a private
response to a public email is analogous to whispering secrets in a
meeting that's supposed to be public.  It's almost, but not quite,
rude.  I realize there are situations where it is absolutely
appropriate, but there are others where it may not be.

Well, I have to go put on my asbestos underwear now.
