If somebody's replying to a thread I'm active on, I consider the responses to that thread to be higher priority than the rest of the firehose, so it's good for me that they've copied me directly. I also read this list via usenet. During the workday, I don't have convenient access to a newsreader, but I do get mail. If I post a question to the group from home in the morning, when people cc me directly on replies, I get them quickly. If they only post to the group, I have to either wait until I get home to catch up on netnews, or use one of several less convenient means of accessing the group from work. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
