Hope my etiquette is ok here!!! :)

Should we be encouraging users to reply to both the list and the original
sender? Surely a reply to the list is adequate? Otherwise, the original
poster gets 2 copies of the reply, since they get a list copy and a
personal copy.

Personally, I always reply just to the list. Clicking "Reply" is adequate,
as the list is configured correctly in that all posts are "munged" so that
"From:" is the mailing list, not the original sender.
