Sorry about spewing this to the List, but nobody@replay.com would not get it back to him.
I'm glad *somebody* realized that. I believe there have been at least a half dozen messages Cc'd to nobody in the last couple days.
In some cases (such as my lone message, which was Cc'd to cypherpunks), they may be simply using a mail reader that doesn't allow retention of the threading reply header without sending it to the address of the original message. (Since these same mail readers, such as mine, also usually don't use the threading information, this is an act of charity.)
Hope this helps. At least with a stable nym, we'd be able to flame you for off-topic posts.
I'm going to be mailing some replies on this topic to some people, off the list; if anyone is curious and wishes to receive them also, let me know (off-list). -Allen
