Sorry Paul, for interrupting your rant, but wasn't there an ADMIN post a
week or two ago to say that PIClist default was going to be set to
ACK/REPRO for new members, to avoid just the confusion that started this
thread?  Maybe I just dreamt it... I'm sure you read the ADMIN posts
thoroughly ;-)

It seems like a sensible default- when I post to a list, I assume that, as
I'm on the list, I'll see a copy.  Problem is that programmers are just so
darned clever they see this neat feature, which doesn't really help anyone,
which they can add, to remove the person who sent the post from the
distribution list that the post goes to... it _must_ have been a Microsoft
idea, surely...
