I personally really dislike being CC'd on lists im subscribed to I find it 
extremely poor netiquette  of all the mailing lists im subscribed to OLPC's 
are the only ones that dont set replyto the list.  It and the huge amount of 
cross posting on OLPC lists really irritate me. its a very standard convention 
to keep list mail on lists.  if you need to take something off list  then you 
should go through the steps needed to do so.  i personally always use the 
reply to list option my client gives me.  

When i get CC'd i dont get the mailman email only the cc'd one which goes to 
different folders where i might not see the mail for awhile. It outright breaks 
my procmail recipes, because mailman correctly doesnt send me a duplicate 
email.  I filter my list mail based on the X-BeenThere: header
