Hi :) Often it seems that the better someone's English is the less likely they are to be a native English speaker. Using it all the time sometimes means getting sloppy with it. My grammar has gone down-hill quite a lot since starting on this mailing list. I used to take great pride in always being fairly perfect with it. Nowadays i just hope to be understood most of the time.
In general i agree that "Reply to all" is not very good netiquette. Luckily GMail automatically removes duplicates because otherwise i might have to press the Del key for nearly every other post. [shrugs] doesn't actually seem too difficult to me but it's something i regret forcing on others. The LibreOffice mailing lists kinda force people into it though.
