    I'm all for it!

    -> I can easily modify the MOO-Cows mailing-list configuration to add
    -> the specified Reply-To: line to every message, and I could even add
    -> a little text at the bottom of each message describing in brief the
    -> intent (i.e., send your questions to the list, gather the responses
    -> and later post a summary), so that members would be reminded of the
    -> appropriate use of the list.

    yes, please!!

    -> The question is, would the current list membership consider this a
    -> positive change?

    I do.  It reduces the clutter of influx of messages I get every
    day.. because I subscribed to this list (by your recommendation), I've
    gotten on average 50 messages per day... that's a little too much
    especially when I have other projects to tackle and correspondence by
    email.

    I understand that this decManager list style of maintaining the
    moo-cows list will require extra work and typing to the person
    posting.. perhaps this should encourage him/her to think about what
    they're posting before doing so.

    -> Yours in service of the goal of a more useful list for us all,
    -> Pavel

    A more useful list is what I'm after!

    2 thumbs up here.
