Please DON'T DO THAT - it will flood everyone's mail box ! (Sorry David).

The reason replies are sent to the person asking the question, is that people
normally just do 'reply' to an email, which seems fine to me.

It is the person who asked the original question who should summarise the
answers and post just that.

If you really want all the replies, this email group should be converted to
a usenet news group. In fact, there is already a usenet news group on
crystallography that is not much used and could well serve this purpose.
