probably because they're idiots of some flavor, but i really do not know or,
for that matter, care. all i know is that they persist despite not getting
answers.
I thought you *were* giving them answers, because you didn't know how to
disable recursing for them.

consider what you're asking. shall we ask deja news to put a filter in for
you too?
I don't know what Deja has to do with this. Is it so hard to edit the
header of your reply message? Change it from:

I happily perform the opposite transformation when posting a followup where
the poster has asked for a mailed copy as well.
This is one thing I hate about news/mail gateways -- the conventions for
the two media are different, but the distinction is lost.
