I prefer that people cc replies to me, as well as sending them directly
to the list. The reason for this is that I'm subscribed to debian-devel,
debian-user, debian-doc, kde-user, kde-devel, fd-devel, and about
fifteen other linux lists. I use procmail to sort out incoming mail,
and the stuff that's sent to/from lists ends up in "debian", "freedos",
"kde" folders. Stuff that's send to me (ala a cc in a reply) ends up in
my inbox. I peruse the mailinglist folders when I get time, but read the
stuff in INBOX immediately -- so if you're directing something to me via
the list, I won't read it until I read through the mailinglist folders,
which might be hours or even a few days later.
