Are we in a minority here, though? As I said before, I almost always want my 
replies to go to the list not the individual as I think it raises the overall 
quality of information. But perhaps that's *not* typical of users of this 
list, and the majority are sending their replies to the individual (which 
seems a shame in a specialist area!)
