try "reply-to-all" Mr. Developer

and in the spirit of developers (a group i am a part of as well) let's tell
people what we CAN'T do and how far out of scope it is and blah blah blah.
whatever happened to CAN-DO attitudes. This is such a small thing and we
used to have kclug in the subject lines.

I'm done with this thread.

The only reason why I'm arguing against adding [kclug] to all of the subject
lines is that for the vast majority of us who already
have the lug stuff going to a separate folder, the information is completely
superfluous.  It will also break many of the thread
detectors in mail programs.

It's also a tiny bit more work for Mike, our sysadmin, who is not only
donating his time but the bandwidth and the box to run stuff
on.

And I am a software developer. =-]
