You did.  I'd *greatly* prefer this to be per-user; I'm sufficiently
stringent on "the proper behavior of mailing lists" that I probably
would shun lists that automagically didn't send me back my own traffic,
just as I shun lists operated by people who do nasty things with their
subscriber info... regardles of *how* much I am interested in the
content.

You can treat that observation as a datapoint in the "yes, there really
are people like that out there" category.  :-)
