Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Reply-All not considered harmful [Was: ChiPHPug Meeting 3rd Wednesday]

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Actually, I have to agree.  I usually reply publicly and rarely reply to 
  individual... cuz, ya know.. what I have to say is so important.. uhh..

But seriously the volume of replies is generally group discussion and it 
is a lot of clicks and backspace keys to get it to not reply to list and 
sender. I do try to be polite and not subject the poor sender to more of 
my yammering than is necessary ;-)

+1 change settings..
