Sorry, for some reason I didn't see the answer up to today.

the clue in that page is that you loose the possibility to answer directly
to the poster, *if the poster is different from what is in the From*. Do you
think this is frequent?

On the other side you catch all the answer of people that don't realize
they're answering to a single person. 

There are so many simple questions that gets unaswered in this list that
I *hope* people are answering directly to the posters, and that happens to
me frequently, but that's a loss for the list in my opinion.
