Why do you all think people will suddenly start to use reply all?  Back in the
"good old days" there would be threads where it was obvious that someone
had clicked "reply" and sent a [unintended] personal message to the author.
Eventually, the thread became public again and was hard to follow.

Wouldn't a better solution be to include WG5 in the J3 mail list?  Then they'd
never miss an important J3 message.  A few years ago, this would have been
potentially impractical because J3 meeting papers were routinely posted to 
the J3 e-mail list.  Now that they are uploaded to the web by magic, there's
much less traffic and the discussions seem to be more germane to WG5.
