He is subscribed to Witango's DIGESTS, this is why he doesn't replies to everybody that answers, he only answers when a digest is being sent.
And guess what? I am almost convinced now that Digests are sent based on emails VOLUMES. This sounds logical: if an email is very long, the server doesn't wait for the end of the day to send a digest that would otherwise not be very ...digestable :-) So he prefers to send it straight away.
And since everybody answering to these emails (except me :-) leaves the entire thread in the mail itself, the server very quickly gets to the set volume limit and produces a digest....
So to avoid other messages, being by cutting the rest of the message when you answer :-)
Don't hesitate to comment if you think I'm wrong...tx!

James went out of town for the weekend and auto-responds to emails (including his own emails gotten from the witango list) with a message saying he is out of town. If someone other than James makes a post every 15 minutes and James has his email auto-check and reply every 15 minutes, how long will it take until James brings down the internet?> anyone? Im taking bets (;
