Mark, about half the messages I receive are duplicates.
Also, it's a real pain when the reply goes to the list instead of the
sender. Why? Because if I want to reply directly to the sender (and not
the list), I have to add their name to my address book, delete the list
address, and add the sender's name to the reply. This tends to fill my
address book up with names that I might only send stuff to once in a
while.
The old way, I just had to remember to cc: to the beam list.
I've already seen a couple of other similar gripes posted to the list.
Regards,
Bruce
