Re: Debian lists and Cc'ing people in replies in addition to the list
Would everyone who responds to me on this issue kindly not fucking
send me duplicate copies. Thank you.

We obviously disagree. :)

I understand why some people like this, and I don't mind sending them a
Cc if they make their wishes understood. For example, by using the
Mail-Followup-To header or adding a sentence to that effect at the
beginning of their e-mail.
(Since you want one, I'm sending you a copy. I wish you had the
politeness to not send me extra copies since I don't want them.
Thanks.)

It makes it harder to see important stuff (that addressed directly at
you) and random discussion on a mailing list (which only arrives via
the list). This reduces the usefulness of e-mail - perhaps not by
very much, but enough to be worrying and irritating.
PS. This will be my first public e-mail sent via Evolution. This may
result in further embarrassment for me. Sorry about any hassle.
