I know some think it a courtesy to send copies to the originator of 
email send to lists.

OTOH others find it a discourtesy. I belong to this second group.

The only argument I've seen that has any merit for the first group's POV 
is "so that they get it sooner."

I've just checked one of my responses, it appeared so soon I thought 
something was wrong.

It's got lots of headers showing it's been to Red Hat, and back to me in 
under 30 seconds.

I repeat, under 30 seconds!!

And in my case that includes two trips via modem: I have a secondary MX 
that relays my entire domain into a private LAN, so when I'm dialled in 
there's no delay in forwarding, and I read mail off the LAN. It's better 
than GMAIL, Hotmail and Yahoo!  users will do, but it does refute the 
argument in favour of those who send copies.

Please, don't send copies to folk on this list. Especially not to the 
subsequent posters.

And, please don't set reply-to in your email clients. I often find my 
outgoings in need of pruning.

And well-done RH. Not all lists are this quick.
