I am with Steve on this.  If you want a private conversation you can still
have that and those are fine for you to take off line.  I am for the Group
reply as I have a big DELETE button on my keyboard and I can use that if I
don't have time or interest in a thread.

My vote is for reply to go to the list.  99% of my replies are for 
the list.  The conversation is taking place on the list, and I'm 
participating in it, like this one!  It's looking like I'm in the 
minority on this, though.  It's not a huge deal for me.  As I said, I 
just hit "reply all" and delete what I don't want.

I don't really understand why Allen's experiment should have caused 
you such problems.  I certainly didn't get any "extra" copies.  Just 
one of each one sent.  I forwarded Allen's email to myself as an 
experiment.  It took maybe 30 seconds to send and then less than 5 
seconds to receive back.  The "up" direction is typically slower than 
the "down" direction on broadband connections like mine.  With a 
slower connection like dial-up, it will take a lot longer of 
course.  If that's what you have, you have my sympathies.

Some email programs have the option to not download files greater 
than a specified size.  Or sometimes you can leave attachments on the 
server by default.  Then if you really want to see it, you can click 
on it and have it download.  I'm not sure what Thunderbird has.  It 
might be worth checking into if this is a common problem for you.
