Uh, what?  Are you denying me my individuality, nay, my *humanity* by 
claiming I am merely an agent of the list?  I take serious umbrage with 
that assertion.

I am the author of this post and the list merely relays it to you in the 
exact same way that my smtp server relays it to the list.  The list is no 
more the sender (and, indeed, no less) than my smtp server is the sender.

When you reply to this, you may choose to reply to the list or to me. 
Surely you're smart enough to know which you mean.
