then he can usually not send to a list

you get them not if the person who answered was smart enough
to use "reply to list" or deleted the second address

normally you have to subscribe for sending to a list and i would wonder
if every spambot can anonymously post to php-devel, so if somebody sends
to the list he also receives it

well and there i read the text below

and that was the reason why i said last night PLEASE reply only to the
list because i need not every message twice and answering to the
wrong duplicate leaves the list out, one of you both mails has "reply to list"
and the other copy not, if i use the other copy you get a lonely answer
leaving the list out of rcpt
