  And the key word there is 'accident'. Otherwise, to the list only. If I get
  e-mails  to me *and* the list, *without* my permission, it tends to make me want
  to killfile the moron who can't seem to get it through their head that I can read
  the list and don't have to have it twice! It's the same as spam if they feel they
  have to send it to a persons personal e-mail account, after all, what if that
  person is using some M$ crapware and is infected? Guess what, now *MY* e-mail
  address is out in the wild for spammers to abuse and *I* have to go through the
  trouble of fixing it. *That's* a principle of even *less* harm.
