No thanks, don't have the time...

C'mon guys - get a clue - is it really that easy to accidently post a message 
to a public mailing list?

Yes, reply-to should go to the list - but it's also quite patently obvious 
when a given message is from a mailing list - normally the fact that you get 
two copies would be a clue --- oh never mind. I guess everyone's 
configuration is different...

Please people, if you have the energy to be outraged about some perceived 
injustice, then you should have the energy to double-check your recipient 
list.

This is really a non-problem.
