For some lists [1], the convention *is* to CC interested parties
(which presumably includes the person who's message you are replying
to). In the case of Mailman-hosted lists, it would seem to be more
considerate to CC folks (since they can opt-out via Mailman), while
folks who only follow the list via occasionally reading Gmane [2] will
probably appreciate the direct ping. I'm not saying that this should
be the convention for python-list@, I'm just saying that it's not
immediately obvious what the conventions are for a particular list [3],
and there are valid arguments going both ways.
What seems more obvious (to me), is that it's polite to adjust the
subject line if your response if far enough off-topic that the
original subject no longer applies ;).
Cheers,
Trevor
