None of the above is particularly relevant to a discussion about how a
(fairly) technical E-Mail list is configured surely.  If someone uses
software and wants support then they use the means provided for
support and, in the main, that means E-Mail lists.  Most support
E-Mail lists use similar netiquette too:-

    Don't top post (i.e. reply below questions)

    Don't use HTML

    Trim replies to provide context but no more

This list isn't so techie that the above things are strictly enforced
but I still think they're a good idea.

As regards the original question about how the list works with 'Reply'
and 'Reply All' I don't have a strong opinion because my mail program
has a third reply type called 'List Reply' which sorts things out for
me however a mailing list is configured.
