DISAGREE! If I am writing a (hopefully it is one) solution for someones problem, he gets it direct via email. But the list has to get it too (the thought of common knowledge, you know). I get the mails on the list in a daily digest. If you wrote only to the list, I would perhaps loose some hours on my work waiting for the daily digest.
If you expect to get an immediate answer, why you chose "digest" over "immediate" delivery?
And if I am using this list for my problems it would not be annoying because it concerns the one who is looking for help. If you discuss just a problem (like this one) not belonging to a specific member of the list it would be careless and annoying. But remember, click "reply to all" and delete everything but the list is quicker than typing the address manually.
You contradict yourself: first you write you want an "immediate" response ("I would perhaps loose some hours on my work waiting for the daily digest"), then you write to remove excessive addresses.
Anyway: some of the things that were pointed out in this thread are only valid for someone who is subscribed to few low-traffic lists.
Try to subscribe to some really-heavy-traffic list like asterisk-users - it sometimes gets about hundred posts a day (!) or more, which is hard just to trace - but thankfully, it has a Reply-To: set to the list (so you don't get double posts and 200 or more posts instead of 100; and don't waste time on removing doubled addresses).
