Is there an "unususal" stated policy? :)

The headers of your mail have

  LDOSUBSCRIBER

in them. We now *know* you are subscribed to the list. A Cc: wouldn't
get me anything extra.

If that word isn't there, we have no idea whether a user is subscribed
or not. But she could be. So I would either assume she is or that she
has some way of seeing list mail. No Cc: necessary on this list.

Benefiial to them surely means seeing responses? That is up to them. I
think all Debain mailing lists allow posting without being subscribed.
That rather puts the ball in the poster's half of the court.

BTW, my response was because I thought it ironic that Hans was pulled
up regarding receipts. For myself - anyone may Cc: me.
