Hi Warner,

I notice you often copy back to the list your "see UPDATING" replies to
"current breakage" questions.

I'd like to propose that everyone confine such answers to private mail.
There are two advantages to doing it that way:

1) Folks who _do_ read UPDATING aren't further inconvenienced by
   multiple "see UPDATING" replies.

2) Instead, the folks who didn't read UPDATING suffer this
   inconvenience.  It's an excellent learning opportunity for these
   people, since multiple "see UPDATING" replies are likely to help them
   remember for next time.

   This is akin to jmb's preference for allowing misdirected subscribe
   and unsubscribe requests onto the list. ;-)

You like?  Yes? No?

Ciao,
Sheldon.
