The mailing list can hardly detect that you've received another copy directly... > > Personally I like mailing list correspondence kept to the list. > > you're assuming everyone knows the mailing list policy and assumes everyone > is > subscribed to the list and receiving replies ... often times lists are > flexible and dont require people to be actively receiving mails This list requires you to be subscribed, otherwise you can't post. Hence it doesn't make much sense to cc directly; respond to the mailing list and the response should reach the persons concerned. Actually I don't mind too much getting CC's, I just delete those directly when I find a response to this list in my normal inbox. It's just unfortunate if someone just replies to me and not to the list :-/ Then again, those people should just reply to the mailing list. I find those people who "protect" their mailbox with a challenge-response system and subsribe to mailing lists a far bigger irritation. Luckily hasn't happened on this list yet AFAIR.
