My comment on "whoever" is meant to be plural. I think as a general principle that whenever people reply to list messages, they look at the headers of the message they are writing and make sure the list doesn't appear twice in the recipients field. If the result of hitting reply or reply-all to some message in a client puts the same recipient in the address bar twice, then the users should remove the extra copies, that's what I do, it can be simple as that. -- Darren Duncan
