hmm.
it appears no one noticed my intended irony.
my query was an example of the supposed violation but -- as I
expected -- it did not trigger the claimed concern.
In any event, copying only the mailing list is extremely common
etiquette and, in fact, is enforced on lists that set the
Reply-To to be the list.

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 message a copy of the reply.
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.
