No, I am not: a separate message is what I said, and what I meant.  Because the 
list reply defaults to the sender _only_, unless I remember explicitly to 
choose "Reply All" (which I otherwise rarely use) any message I mean to send to 
the list goes instead to just the individual.  I then have to send a separate 
copy to the list (only), making my first reply retrospectively and 
unintentionally a "courtesy copy".  The last occasion that happened was just 
yesterday.  And as I said, I do not have this problem with any other mailing 
list.

Best wishes,
