No, I meant Dan Langile - the guy who runs/owns the list.
Pressing "reply" used to send to the sender and not the list for
this list. Now "reply" sends to the list.

It has been discussed on many occasions in the past and Dan
has wanted it to have a reply going to the sender and not the
list.

"Reply All" and "Reply to Sender" dont even go to the OP now.
GREAT.

> I try to do list only replies (as I know how anoying they are)

Yeah - you are polite. Many on this list have not worked out how
to do that yet. Getting two replies of someone saying "you are wrong"
or something as equally pointless is a waste of my bandwidth.

The people who "forget" to reply to the list only on this list should know
better as they are often techancal people involved with ISPs. Look up
the domain information for the domains they use in their e-mail addys.

You could try approaching them on the basis of testing with their system.
Formally ask them for access for testing. Be very specific about what you
want and when you want it and they may (MAY) let you have it for that
limited period. If you tell them that you will not be able to reccomend
their service if you have not had access to their system for testing you
may be able to get testing time for nothing - as a favour to them so you
can include them in your offer to your clients. It is called latteral thinking.

Actually, they are not too bad for a big capitalist organisation - really they
are not.
