sad enough to see that educate AND reply-to munging does not
help at all - there is really not more you can do as hope
people are starting to think what they are doing

this was only a example

it happended 3 times that i pressed "reply all" to the list-owner
and core-developer because it is my normal action since most
of my mail-flow is business-only where it is a must

compared with the reply every single post of my here and
on devel-list is polite - and yes after that i understood
what i did wrong and it does not happen again becasue since
this day i am aware of the difference metween "normal" and list
communication

and yes i can understand wieste each day more and more
i get around 400 mails each day, there is really no need
for duplicate ones and i am not the only person affected

the other ones are mostly too polite and many lost hope
that  educate people will have any effect
