:the reply fields.

Well, either that. Or some people use the "Reply To All" feature to get
around the limitation that "Reply To" only replies to the sender.
However, "Reply To All" will reply to the list AND the sender. This
means, to reply to the list only, you have to edit out the author's
e-mail address.

Having been a member of this list for several months (and being a member
of quite a number of other lists), it seems to me that this list's
culture indicates most subscribers use the "Reply To All" and that
everyone more or less accepts that they get two replies.

I've learned to live with it. No biggie.
