Reply All vs. Reply
Orin Kerr has a post over at the Volokh Conspiracy about the dynamics of e-mail lists and the Reply All problem. I don’t understand why people have such trouble with the difference between Reply All and Reply. Is there something non-intuitive about the names? It seems like a pretty simple distinction: do I want to reply to the person who wrote the e-mail, or do I want to include everyone in the conversation. But some people are congenitally unable to figure out which one to use. Drives me nuts!
