OK. All is not right with the state of the union here.
It has been over five years since I had to setup and administer a
listserv but I am almost positive that if an email was sent to a given
list member explicitly on the To: line then the message was not
duplicated due to his existence as a group member of the group entered
on the CC: line.
Today I got four copies of the message that Swerve posted in response to
mine. I can see getting two if the list service can't discern that my
email address from the To: line is also a member of the group but
getting four of them is a little bit much.
Now I think my old environment was a Solaris 2.5 configuration but I
have trouble believing that current versions of Linux (assuming that's
the OpenSRS platform of choice for such tasks) and their associated list
serv software have less functionality than the old majordomo stuff.
I know... it doesn't kill me to delete the extraneous messages but I'm
wondering why it would be the case at all.

PS. I'm sure there was a joke there with list service vs. lip service
but spicy thai food for lunch seems to have fried any humour initiatives
temporarily. :)
