(original message attached at the end) I just want to point out that there are reasons where SetAttributes[Equal,Listable] may not be a preferred solution than using Flatten and Thread. * Some people prefer not to touch build-in functions. * Some people prefer not to use Attribute system in Mathematica.

I've received several responses, most of which suggest some variation of Thread and Flatten. However the _best_ response was from Jens, who pointed out that one can SetAttributes[Equal,Listable]
