Hi:)
Please use "Reply to all" when replying to mails from this mailing
list.
<sigh> Please do NOT do that blindly.
Why? Many reasons, but one of the best examples can be found here:

or (for those with broken mail clients)

Please use YOUR BRAIN when replying to emails from ALL mailing lists...
1. Use the 'Reply-List' button/feature. Don't have one? Change to a mail
client that isn't broken, like Thunderbird, which actually has a single
'Smart Reply' button that automatically switches from 'Reply' to 'Reply
List' when it detects the List Headers (which virtually all lists have -
except for the brain dead Yahoo lists) when replying to email list
emails that only need to go to the list (99% of the time),
2. Use 'Reply-All' *only* when the sender specifically says they are not
a list member (I still don't understand why this - or *any* - list
allows posts from non-subscribers), and
3. If you have a broken mail client that doesn't have proper Reply-List
functionality (<cough>Outlook<cough>) and are unwilling to change to one
that does, then use 'Reply-All' but PLEASE remove the senders email
address (leaving only the list address) before sending (having to do
that is your punishment for not using a decent mail client).
I *hate* getting duplicate emails when someone does that with one of my
posts. I'm on the list dammit, I don't need two separate copies of your
replies.
