Máirín wasn't asking for discussion to drift off into private threads¹. AFAICT, all she was asking was that you stop hijacking her mail client and making it do something other than what she asks it to. Her mail client, like fairly much *all* mail clients, has one option for a private reply and another for a public reply. Users press the button they want, according to how they want to reply. But on *this* list, they both do the same thing². Which means that when Máirín hit the 'private reply' button in her mail client, it was subverted to send her response in public, which she did not intend. -- dwmw2 ¹ My interpretation, of course. I do not presume to speak for Máirín. ² And we wonder why some users get confused and don't always press the correct button... :)
