FYI.  Most people don't say anything, they just blacklist you.  After
that, you don't exist to them.

To my knowledge, the only emails I have not got when someone sent to
this mailing list is when the mailing list server had problems and that
was a long long time ago.  You send a email to the list and the list
gets the email.  There is NO need to CC everyone so that they get dups. 
Period.  We don't need a CC guarantee.

This is a COMMUNITY effort here and you seem to not want to be a part of
the community.  When I first came here, my email program sent html.  I
was told that HTML is not appreciated here.  Some even provided examples
of why it is not appreciated.  I asked how to change that, I was given
the help needed to change it and I have made sure that it remained that
way since.  There was a point in time where I changed software and
couldn't find the setting.  I asked if anyone knew where it was and got
the help needed to get it set back to plain text, as EVERYONE else does
on this list. 

If you don't want to be here by the standards set, say good bye.  I'm
trying to help you by telling you this.  People will blacklist you and
never say a word about it.  I suspect quite a few already has.  It would
be wise to change your way of handling this list or you will lose.
