And have you been convinced sending the author two messages...makes 
sense? or that the default behavior is a private response to a public 
conversation...

 I have even found direct emails quite close to rude.(mostly when the 
responder actually was rude) the default reply
 should simply target the list ... The direct emails arent marked as 
coming through the list and are likely to end up in
my spam bucketss... or just get overlooked.

I am in my forties and preger to learn new tricks that make sense and 
are generally useful.. fighting with my
mail client to avoid double sending to folks isnt one of them.
