Re: [libreoffice-users] Reply settings on this list have changed

Exactly - and this is why I totally am not in favour of replying to the 
person rather than the list

Our British Car list used to reply to the list and if someone asked a 
question everyone saw the answers and ensuing dialogue. Someone 
complained about reply to list and the reply to was changed - the result 
is that we seldom see the responses to questions and folks receiving the 
info end up having to remember to forward all of the responses to the 
list so others can share

Not  a good idea to reply to sender on these help lists
