It's pretty easy :) Most mail clients with this list will play nice if you hit reply to all, it will list all email addresses properly, you can then delete any that don't need to be sent to. If you just hit reply, it will just reply to the poster in a private message.
You didn't say anything out of the ordinary, and thankfully someone had trimmed the original emails on that thread, somethings I said shouldn't be copied over to that main list. No harm done, but I want to prevent any more problems on that main list by someone accidently cross-posting.
