I have noticed that, when replying to messages posted to the csound 
mailing list, many people send the message both to the list and to the 
person who asked the question. This seems wasteful to me-- every time I 
ask a question I get two emails for every reply. Granted, this is better 
than getting no replies! :) But my email service is sometimes painfully 
slow, and I assume I'm not the only one; so I would like to suggest 
that, as a general rule, it's better to send a reply either to the list 
if your message is of general interest, OR to the individual if it's 
not. This should be easy; just take a look at the "to" and "cc" fields 
before you hit send...

of course, if anyone thinks I am wrong, they should say so.
The only good reason I can think of to cc the person asking the question 
is if they weren't actually on the mailing list, which seems unlikely!

Regards,
