In case no one else bothered to point this out:
Not everyone who *posts* to NANOG *reads* nanog via email.
For example, I read it via the web archive.
For those like us, any presumption about replies to the list being read by
us, would be incorrect.
And since no one necessarily knows the current subscription status of
everyone else, it actually makes sense to copy both the sender and the list.
As Randy [Bush, of course] points out, if you don't like duplicate mail, you
are free to use some kind of filter.
(Please don't bother replying. I am just attempting to get in the last blow
before the equine perishes.)
