On what you said: 'evil' is one of those words that gets
bandied about on
these lists all the time - it strikes as strong and infantile; my first thought
on this is that if I were to set up a list in which the casual use of that
list by non-attentive users would result in their replies to posts regularly
going back to the original posters, instead of the list, I would be seeing a
lot of complaining - if I joined such a list, and started getting personal
replies to my list posts, I would be annoyed - it would be annoying, a
nuisance, a small pain in the neck, but evil???
As I said, there are reasons for it being more than simply an
annoyance. See

But, I digress... I hate
Evolution and its evil promoters deserve anything they get ;-)
My comment wasn't about Evolution but about the Evo mailing list. We
can fight about Evo vs Kmail vs TBird vs Claws vs Mutt etc. but
elsewhere. Let's not hijack the thread.
