Dear Sir,
I have started putting together a web site www.S100Computers.com completely
focused on S-100 based computers. This is strictly a hobby.
I think there is a need for a good central place that describes the
different S-100 boards that anybody can quickly go to. I think it is
important to try and get all this stuff together while we remember it for
later generations. Be it other hobbyists or serious historians etc. In
particular I am trying to get all the old manuals.
Anyway, I am working my way through the different companies. I am currently
doing the company Mountain Hardware. I wondered if by chance you have or
could make a .pdf file for the manual for the Mountain Hardware 100,000
days clock board. I see some time ago you listed it under "my CP/M-80
pile'o'gunk". Alternatively if you are comfortable with it, I could scan
the manual myself and return it to you.
Sincerely
John

Ok, so does anyone seriously, really, honestly think setting Reply-
To: headers to the list is actually a good idea? Seriously?

Yes, some of us
do think so. There are many arguments for, and many
against. There are web pages advocating both positions. Here's one
advocating it:
http://www.metasystema.net/essays/reply-to.html
If we're going to start discussing how mailing lists should work, which
we probably shouldn't, I'm much more interested in trying to convince
people to change the subject header to something appropriate when a
reply isn't actually relevant to the original subject header.

Yeah! They should add that feature to all mail reading programs.

I do. It's a discussion list, so in the normal course of events replies
should go to the list. Of course you'll get the occasional misplaced
reply like that one, but you'll get a lot more going wrong otherwise.
I'm on a couple of lists where the Reply-To: doesn't go to the list, and
people regularly complain they've inadvertently sent the reply to the
sender, and had to send it again, but fairly often they don't notice and
discussions seem to disappear.

If no one did, they wouldn't be set that way. :)
But seriously, I'm sure that this was someone sending email using the
address in the email archive, where people's addresses are munged to
cctalk at classiccmp.org, so that it isn't a database of email addresses
for spammers to mine from. This has nothing to do with setting Reply-
To: addresses.
