i hear ya... almost as much as postings in fidonet that are a reply to
someone in specific (like yours to me) coming in addressed To: ALL...
undoubtedly because of some sort of newsgroup-style access that doesn't
employ the additional features and capabilities to link properly in
fidonet... i wouldn't even have read your reply if i hadn't recognized it
(after reading it twice!) as a reply specifically to me and my message...
that's an annoyance, too O:)
