With our lists (the PHP lists, that is), like many others, we ask
that you always hit "Reply-All" unless you intend to reply personally
to an individual. In general, the folks to whom you're replying will
be subscribers to the list to which you're writing anyway, and
[almost] all modern email clients and services will intelligently
discard duplicate messages if it's detected to be from a mailing list
or similar method of distribution.
