Sure, that's true.  But it was Bobby McNulty that was complaining about
multiple copies and he was suggesting that the multiple copies were going
to the list.  That's not true and I can't explain why Bobby would be seeing
what he's seeing but the conclusion he drew from it is wrong.  Joshua made 
no such complaint.

As for how I reply, I always do it the same way.  Reply to all makes sure
it goes to the list and not just the original OP.  If the OP doesn't want a 
copy directed to him/her as well, some procmail filter or setting the 
reply-to to point to the list will take care of that.  I don't second-guess
what the OP implies he/she wants.
