Well, I just wanted to point out it is generally seen as bad practice: when you start a 
new thread, just paste the address of the mailing list in the destination field.

Why using reply is a bad idea, even if it is convenient? Because some people, like me, 
like to see the messages in a threaded fashion, in a tree-like representation. That's also 
how lot of Web interfaces to mailing list show them.
And a message unrelated to the current thread being grafted at an arbitrary point is 
distracting, and has a chance of being unnoticed (I often do "mark thread as read" for 
threads I have no interest in).

My remark isn't about going "boo", finger-pointing, it is about Netiquette education... 
:-) You are not the first to ignore such informal but widely followed rule. :-D Hey, at 
least you don't top-post and trim down correctly the messages, unlike lot of people here 
(and elsewhere)! ;-)
