Wade--

The "panic" is from simply inverting the habit people have.

We took a button and made it do the opposite of what it has done for  
ages.

The reaction is completely natural. Does Adobe get any whining when  
they move a command form one menu to another or bury it deeper in the  
hierarchy? (I'm thinking now specifically of feather selection right  
now;^))

If left to the current state, the habit will eventually invert and  
going back will cause nearly as much gnashing of teeth.

That said, the simplest choice of action should be for the one people  
use the most often.

If most people want to converse in the community rather than in  
private, reply should go to the list.

If most people want to converse in private, reply should go to the  
originator.

I prefer public discussion because it gets me the maximum traffic in  
ideas and experience.

PS-- I had to move one address and delete three others to avoid  
sending duplicate copies to mailboxes.
