The answer as you will see twice is that when one replies on Outlook you
have a "reply" icon that will bring only the sender's name or a "reply to
all" icon that sends the response to you as the sender and the list as a
recipient of your original message. To get the message to the list only,
you must either type in the list name which I always have to look up or
delete your name from the address line. Several reasons could explain why
people fail to do that. Lack of attention, laziness, fear of messing with
the software, or the taking of evil pleasure in filling your mailbox with
duplicate mailings. The interesting thing, though, is how the listserver
decides to deliver the mail. Often when I ask a question on the list I will
get a reply from someone before the server has delivered my question to me
as a member of the list.

Subject: a little question
Hi,
On occasion, I have posted a question or statement. Invariably, someone
has responded to that question/statement, and send their reply to the list
AND to me. My initial response has always been, "Now I got it twice. Why
not just send it to the list?"
I'm really curious -- why do folks do that? Are there certain folks who are
more inclined to do that? Are there certain messages that prompt folks to
do that?
