1. do PTFS email clients not have a "list-reply" or "reply" button?
Most email software remembers where the reply command was used and
includes metadata that explains the relationship to other
emails. (Most commonly In-Reply-To and References headers.)
Librarians usually like metadata, but it means that readers who sort
their email by thread can see the whole conversation, and the web
forum versions of this discussion work better too.

2. I'm disappointed to see that "foundation" remains there.  I really
disagree with the founders of the organisation getting special status
in perpetuity.  It's unmeritocratic, undemocratic and undo-ocratic.
