I agree.  Besides, Alan's complaint seems to be that he's in the To:
header.  I've seen the complaint before: "don't send it to me
separately, I'm subscribed".  The point is, (a) not everyone who posts
is subscribed, and (b) even those who are subscribed may prefer to be
listed explicitly on the headers, for example if they filter their
list mail into a separate folder but also want to receive a copy of
your reply in their inbox.  And it's hard to keep track of everyone's
preferences.

So I'd say, just leave the sender in the To: and the list in the cc:,
it's the recipient's business to take care of it...
