Michelle, Benny, et. al., why do you seek to shift your burden onto the
rest of us?
When I hit "reply" on a message from the SA list, the only recipient is
the original sender. The list is configured this way and the SA list
admins may have reasons for doing so. The list admin contact address is
the place to lodge a complaint about this behavior.
If I want the rest of the list to also see the reply - which is the most
common case - I have to either manually add the list address to the
message recipents, or hit "reply all" instead. For me the latter is
simpler, and has become habit. I'm sure many if not most others are the
same way.
Avoiding also directly CCing the original sender (i.e. you) first requires
that I remember that someone on the current thread doesn't want a direct
copy, and then requires I break my train of thought in composing the reply
to go edit the recipient list before hitting "send". I apologize most
abjectly, but I often fail to do both. Again, I'm sure many if not most
others are the same way.
There is another solution that does not require you depend on the memory
and courtesy of the other list members: before posting a message to the SA
list, set your Reply-To: header to the SA list address. That way any
well-behaved mail client when told to "reply all" will not directly send
you a copy. This has been discussed at length before.
