[ANSI-Smalltalk] Mail list configuration

[Andres Valloud]

Bruce et al,

In my opinion, we are in a public forum already, and so reply should mean
"reply in the context of a public forum".

Also... I find it very strange that there is a need to set up this list so
backstabbing is easier.  What does this feature request have to do with the
Smalltalk ANSI standard?  I would not like to write emails in a list knowing
that it is organized assuming there will be derogatory back chatter.  What
would that say about ourselves and our efforts?  I do not think such an
environment helps promotes open collaboration, which is what we will need a
whole bunch of.  Let's just don't set up ourselves for infighting and
failure.

Thanks,
Andres.

PS: for illustration purposes, just replying to this email was "complicated"
enough because simple reply didn't work... I had to reply to all, then take
Bruce's address out, move the list's address from the CC to the TO field...
simple and successful, please! :)
