Personally, I prefer to be cc'd on things I've responded to. I
filter all mail (as I'm sure you do) into boxes based on subject so
that my `inbox' receives comparatively few messages. I always read
my inbox first, so if I'm lagging on one of the other groups (I
currently have 2600 outstanding messages in my freebsd-questions folder
since my holiday), a ``conversation'' doesn't suffer.
I've seen people posting a standard header something like
[please don't cc me in a reply if you're sending to the group]
as a standard header on usenet - you may want to employ the same sort
of idea - I think most people on mailing lists ``reply to all'' as
standard :-P
