It's a religious topic, indeed.  Every email list I'm familiar with does
the opposite of every one of yours. ;)

There are about 200 subscribers, currently.  If you want the default
changed, I'm open to it, although I probably won't change it unless
there's a pretty strong consensus for it, and little dissent against a
change.

Let's not argue the merits of either approach.  But, if you have an
opinion on it either way send me a quick, private mail.
