To put it another way, did you ask me if I mind you emailing me your

It is hard to imagine that the moderator of this list is unaware that
the Seamonkey e-mail client lacks a "Reply to list" feature; thus I
can either reply to you and only to you, or I can reply to you and
to the list; the Seamonkey e-mail client offers me no other option.
Okay, so this isn't a case of you having no regard for me. (That's my
point.) It's a case of you not knowing the capabilities of your
software. It's a good thing I didn't accuse of you having no regard for
me. :)
Don't you think it would be uncalled for for me to accuse you of having
no regard for me, because you're sending messages to my email address?
By the way, can just remove my address in the compose window. Here's a
screencast: <http://ilias.ca/screencasts/replytolist-workaround.webm>.
Even if you you couldn't remove my address from the compose window,
wouldn't it still be unfair for me to accuse you of having no regard for me?
What if a security issue forced a SeaMonkey developer to make a change
you didn't like, and he/she didn't know it was technically possible to
have both the security fix and the behaviour you like? Wouldn't it be
uncalled for to accuse the developer of having no regard for users?
What if user data and use cases suggested a common issue and a SeaMonkey
developer (who David accuses of having no regard for users) tried to fix
it, but you didn't like the change and you want a chance to voice your
opinion about it? There are nightly and beta builds made available to
the public for you to test and determine whether or not you like the
changes. What if you don't want to install a pre-release, but want to
voice your opinions on changes based on theory? The changes in beta
releases are listed in the release notes
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.11/changes>. Part
of why they are listed there is to ask if you're in favour of the change.
There is a list of contributors at about:credits. Each one of them
contributes in different ways, and has his/her own strengths and
weaknesses. If one of them makes a change you don't like, should all of
them be accused of having no regard for users?
