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:)
