Which is exactly the opposite of what some other people consider to be
common courtesy. Many people feel that common courtesy dictates that you
SHOULD trim down the To/Cc recipients to just the list name.

I am rather confused by this posting.
Can anyone explain it to me?
it's very simple. if you reply in a public forum to a message that
someone sent, it's common courtesy to send the author of the original

for a variety of reasons, merely sending the message to the public forum
is not sufficient, unless the author has explicitly indicated that this
is sufficient.
