I am going to ask you again. do not put me in the To or CC or BCC of

Why does that annoy you so much? I don't think folks understand it
and have noticed you repeatedly asking about it. /me just curious
jesus
for one it messes up my filters. since mailman doesn't send me a copy
if i'm on the to, or CC list. which then puts messages out of
context. I personally find it rude and overly aggressive and
offensive. none of the fedora lists operate that way, people just
reply to list. If it was normal behaviour that im used i guess it
wouldn't bother me. but it not the normal behaviour.
FYI: mailman has this option:
Receive your own posts to the list?
Ordinarily, you will get a copy of every message you post to the list.
If you don't want to receive this copy, set this option to No.
And by default is set to Yes.
I guess in a way since its not the expected behaviour it makes me feel
like you think i'm not doing a good enough job if you have to resort
to CC'ing me on email that I would have got and read anyway.
Some people here have hundred unread mails so CC'ing them directly will
often help. Some may post to list, but are not subscribed. CC'ing them
help.
I will say that personally, if you email me, and cc a list I am on, that
email gets filtered into a list folder. I may or may not read that email
either way, if you include a list email, I will not keep copy in my
inbox because of it. I will semi frequently get people either forwarding
said email to me directly or pinging me on IRC about an email, if they
feel they need to get my attention on something sooner than later (where
later could be a week+).
I will also say that if an email is not replied to with a note saying
'interesting, will reply later with more info', or 'its in my queue' or
'I'm busy right now' that if a message is not answered it can be
perceived as being ignored... yet I do this all the time, select to
ignore an email (for now), but folks seem to assume I am busy :/ :)
so... not sure what the point of my reply is, just saying how I work,
because everyone does work differently.
Cliff.
