I actually find it convenient and useful when people do that.  If 
somebody's replying to a thread I'm active on, I consider the responses 
to that thread to be higher priority than the rest of the firehose, so 
it's good for me that they've copied me directly.

I also read this list via usenet.  During the workday, I don't have 
convenient access to a newsreader, but I do get mail.  If I post a 
question to the group from home in the morning, when people cc me 
directly on replies, I get them quickly.  If they only post to the 
group, I have to either wait until I get home to catch up on netnews, or 
use one of several less convenient means of accessing the group from 
work.
