Yup, 'cuz I added a Reply-To: of my own, and then the list added the
"cctalk" address.

Um, I'm not sure which message you're referring to. But the Reply-To:
in the message you just posted (the one that this is a followup to) is:

    Reply-To: "Dwight K. Elvey" <dwight.elvey_at_amd.com>,
    "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts"
        <cctalk_at_classiccmp.org>

Your mailer is probably creating an initial Reply-to: like this:

    Reply-To: "Dwight K. Elvey" <dwight.elvey_at_amd.com>

and then the list software is adding the "cctalk" part. I think that's
wrong, it should *replace* the original with the "cctalk". That's what
used to happen. It's not a big deal for me though; I didn't mean to
make a big fuss about it, I just noticed and wondered why.
