Ok, you're not getting this. Let me explain simply so that you
understand and we can end this tedious argument you seem to want to
spend a lot of effort on a weekend to perpetuate.

There were three email addresses in the reply:

1) The sender of the message - whether he wants a reply or not is his
personal preference, not yours so as you didn't originate the message,
you have no grounds for argument.
2) The correct mailing list address - a reply should have gone here.
3) The old mailing list address - this should not have been in the
headers, but the fact it was is not Fernando's fault.

Clearly you aren't a Gmail user, perhaps you should investigate it, it
would give you something to do that isn't starting pointless flame
wars. I have precisely one "Reply" button, which on a correctly sent
mailing list post replies to only the list address. Fernando has the
same on his Gmail I would guess, so he didn't hit "Reply to All" - he
has no such option.

So let me put it bluntly, you blamed the wrong person for the error
here, you haven't yet apologised for that public mistake and you are
still acting like an ass. Grow up.
