I used to get annoyed when people would reply to all when answering one person's request that does not serve to educate others about how to do or where to find something. I've had a change of heart, though, when it dawned on me that answering a personal request via "reply to all" serves to let others know that the request was addressed, thus saving who knows how many other people the time in answering the question. And yes, this is a new email ;). I got tired of AOL being stupid with their whitelist privileges and just plain missed the RW mailings!
