which is why i read all my new mail before replying to any of it (with the
exception of private mail which doesn't have list "lag")

it takes just as much time to read all your mail before you start replying as
it does to just reply as you read.  give it a try sometime.  you may actually
find that you send less mail to the list.  YMMV, it works for me anyway.
