I agreee that it's important to copy people personally on messages that concern them, but that's not the issue here. The original flamefest^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hdiscussion was about copying multiple lists. I think Mikhail summed it up well: we have a technical problem, and as long as it exists people should avoid sending messages to multiple lists, even if it would otherwise make sense.
