Hi Reindl! Do you realize that you are currently spamming hundreds of people that have subscribed this mailing list with pointless meta-discussions about how you think mailing list should work? The previous answer have already explained in detail why *all* mailing lists (this is not something specific to php-internals) ask you to reply to both author and the list.
I would kindly ask you to stop annoying me and others with further off topic messages and hope that the mailing list management will discard your messages if you continue to do so. Thanks.
