wxruby development - Oct 2006 - List Reply vs. Reply-All

It seems that the users list is set so Reply => Reply to the group, but 
this dev list defaulted to Reply => Reply only to the author. I know all 
the pros and cons of both approaches, but in this case I think the two 
lists should match, and nobody has complained (recently?) about the way 
users works. So I was about to flip this list to match it, and then 
re-read the warnings in the mailman admin interface, "strongly" 
recommending not replying to the group automatically.

Strong opinions one way or the other? Should we change the way the users 
list works? Maybe now is the right time. Or maybe now is the wrong time. 
I''m not sure.

Well, both Roy and Alex said they prefer replies to go to the group. 
Ironically, both of their replies came only to me and not to the list, 
whether intentional or not.

I have flipped the dev list to match the users list and have replies go 
to the list. For the small dev list, especially, this seems appropriate. 
For a large list that covered sensitive topics (religion, sex) I might 
feel more strongly that the default should be a private reply.

Anyway, it''s done. Thanks for the input.
