Then why do you stick a "Reply-to:" header on your posts[1]? There are *still* newsreaders out there that interpret that as "I want a copy mailed to me as well as posted." It doesn't mean the same thing as it does in email.

We've got a perfectly reasonable place to discuss PHP right here. If you're after shame and humiliation over how dumb you're being, as the above paragraph suggests, feel free to weigh in on topics presented here. If you're just after traffic for your wretched blog, go soak your head.

Name one that does on Followup/Reply (instead of Reply To All). The Reply- To header is only to be considered by default if the Followup-To header is "poster". Anything else is FUBAR; NUAs that exhibit faulty behavior do not belong on the Net and should not be supported.
That said, the Reply-To header has more than one purpose.

You do not know as much as you think you do. Read RFC 5536.
As for the rest, though, full ACK: Post *here*, read *here*.

Well, you had your chance.

Apparently you are more interested in arguing your perceived One True Way to use usenet than you are interested in discussing test-driven development in PHP.
According to google groups, you've been posting under this author name since 2004. I'd already been using usenet for over a decade by then. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/>

Its not relevant to this newsgroup, however, because it has nothing to do with PHP. You're welcome to take up the discussion on something like alt.comp.software.newsreaders. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/>
