If the Spirit mailing list is any indication, we'll end up with broken 
threads and confused readers as Boost members merrily hit Reply and send what 
they think are public messages to just the original poster. When the poster 
realizes this, we get more broken threads and confusing traffic as old 
messages (meant to be public) are reposted out of order and out of context.

Then posters start using "Reply All" instead of "Reply", and we get tons of 
duplicate messages.

it was changed back to reply to the list)
