a gentle request to keep the list copied

I notice that a number of people have started to respond to me in personal
email and not copy the list after a first answer to their email. I assume
this is unintentional - some mailing lists have a default Reply-To to the
list and so some people may be used to just hitting reply and expect that
to be sent back to the mailing list. This is intentionally not the case
for this mailing list as I consider that behavior evil.

That said, unless you are really sending me something that is private or
personal, I'd really prefer that people do group replies and keep everyone
copied. This often will get you quicker answers because many other people
might be able to answer your email, not just me.

Thanks
