I always copy netbsd-bugs and gnats-bugs when I reply to a GNATS reply,
primarily as a good example to show others, and so that those who read
that forum can keep up with what's going on with the bugs that they are
also interested in and so that anyone else with input has a quick and
easy way to submit their reply too.

Indeed I asked quite some time ago if GNATS could be adjusted so that it
included "netbsd-bugs" in the reply-to header so that everyone could
keep most of the discussion about bugs in a public forum (i.e. in an
actual active forum, not just in the GNATS database) by default, and
IIRC there were a good number of other people who thought this would be
a good idea too.

If what you meant instead was that you didn't want multiple copies CC'ed
to your own mailbox, well then I would kindly suggest you set the
reply-to header as you wish it to be, just as I do....  :-)

If you've read any animosity into my reply, it was not intended....

I was only slightly annoyed at what seemed to me to be a "blame old
-current" kind of reply without any apparent justification so I wanted
to get more information and either fix my build platform, or help fix
the print/ghostscript pkgsrc modules -- whichever it may be.
