I am drowning in messages that ought to be sent to some individual or other but instead, through laziness or ignorance, are being posted to the entire list. Perhaps some do not realize that when they use the "reply" command they are not replying to a particular correspondent, but instead are broadcasting to hundreds of tired folk who would just not wade through their correspondence.

I agree.... But there is a remedy. If this list is administered by Eric Thomas' Revised Listserv, the list owner can specilfy that replies go to the original sender and not to the list.
