Blasted mailing list, I sent the message below as a personal reply,
AGAIN. I simply cannot get my brain to accept how this list works. I'm
on half a dozen other mailing lists all of which work the other way
round ie. replies go to the list. Mutter.
I've also been a bit puzzled/confused by the list. I'd expected emails to
the list to just generate responses via the list. But various responses
have come both direct and via the list.
I don't mind cc'ing back when I get direct responses in parallel. But it
does mean I am getting duplicatics and will have to set up a filter to
ensure these all go to the correct storage 'box' here.
Is this all the norm here, or have I done something wrong? If the latter,
my apologies. Not experienced it on other lists where all by default goes
only via the list.

I always felt that in a list you're replying to the whole group - so why
duplicate a copy to an individual, as some seem to do on here? The only
exception would be if you're sending a PRIVATE reply for one individual,
in which case it goes to that person, not the group. I have my mail
reader set up to transfer list mail to a list folder but I also have to
go wading through my inbox to pick out the ones where people replied to
an individual and cc'ed the group.
