Having seen this new style implemented, let me register my opposition to it. Since most programs make it quite easy for a user to reply to all or just one, it makes sense to leave it to individuals who are posting whether or not their post/reply is fit for general consumption. The sheer volume of West-L emails I'm getting right now is detracting from the value the list has for me. If others, who initially registered their support for this idea, have had second thoughts, it would be nice if they were voiced. Thanks for the consideration, Bob
