This is actually the preferred way of sending to mailinglists where 
non-subscribers are allowed to post, because the original poster would 
otherwise be cut out of the loop. As there's no way of telling if a 
poster *is* on this list (no, I don't know if it can be posted to 
without subscribing, and I can't be bothered with checking), the only 
sane way to make sure the original poster and everyone participating in 
a thread is to reply to all and hope that people on the list have taken 
the 3 minutes it takes to set up filters to delete duplicate messages 
*hint, hint*.

The "send-only-to-list-when-replying" option is really only useful if 
only subscribers can post to the list. I assume those other lists are of 
that kind.

Hugo, chill out. Max, you did the right thing. If this list is 
subscriber only, then whoever set it up botched the job and need to fix 
it (although I'm sure SF would be perfectly capable of screwing it up 
and leaving it screwed for all eternity no matter how much grief it causes).
