Those who reply by mail should be warned that responses are apparently
echoed straight back onto the the net.  While this is a neat-ish trick,
it completely negates the whole point of replying by mail -- namely
that one does not consider one's message worthy of/suitable for
immediate broadcast.  Those who want to post in reply are at liberty to
do so; those who do not want to do so should not have it done for
them.  I would counsel UNIX Today to do as it says it will, and
SUMMARIZE email responses after they have been accumulated.
