Common courtesy, mostly. This has been discussed before, with reference to http://david.woodhou.se/reply-to-list.html Basically, when replying one has a choice. Either you can risk a minor annoyance to some people by causing them to receive two copies of the message instead of only one — which might be slightly annoying to them if their filtering isn't set up right, but at least they've *got* the message, and it tends to err on the side of visibility (i.e. in their INBOX where they might want to fix their filters to put it in the list folder). The alternative is to risk a major annoyance to other people who are cut out of the discussion entirely, or at least for a period of time. I am aware that you are one of the former group, and you don't want to fix your filters so that they match your preferred use case for some reason. IIRC I never did work out why you think this peculiarity of yours is more important, overall, than deliberately cutting others out of mail threads so that they never see messages at all.
