Hey, these are computers! Certainly there has to be some way of telling
it to send to the list rather than the list *and* the author (who is
on the list).

And it is more of a pain having to find the author name and then do
cut and paste to send to them specifically... some of us don't have
mail readers which even allow us to change the To: or CC: field (or
anything other than the message) once we're typing the message...
