You're trying to argue that reply-munging is now the default. > That won't, of course, make it right. I'm ambivalent about this question. If I were God Emperor, there would be no munging, and people who tried to inflict such blasphemies (and crap like AOL's quoting style) on the world would be punished. But given the current state of affairs, I think reply-munging is the wrong choice for this list. Sure, in general accidentally publically sending a private reply is worse than the reverse, but I don't think that is a particularly relevant risk analysis here. It looks like that is the majority opinion (modulo the small, self-selected sample), but I was definitely surprised that there were so many people who liked it for this list. I'll wait a few more days before posting my tallies of the responses in case there are people who were away for the weekend / holiday but would like to respond. - tky
