     Secondly, why was the response to my initial critique posted 
publicly on the ML?  It was a private message (believe me, I checked), 
and to post such a response publicly was a serious violation of 
nettiquette. 

This is the OTHER major reason I setting up a partial reply-to.  (BTW, the
vote was 12-0 in favor, with no idiots sending an opinion here.  Thanks
guys, you made me feel much better about it)

People are NOT paying attention to whether the mail is private or not.
This has happened 5 times that I've seen.  It happened to me once.  I sent
private mail, and they sent the response to the list.

Please be careful.  I know not everyone has a mail program that is smart
enough to do it properly.
