Don't generalize too fast. This is definitely not the normal way of
posting on most mailing lists I'm subscribed to, and also considered an
annoyance on most of them.

Which has lead me to perceive it as such.

It can be the rule here, which I shall respect if it is and stop
complaining, but this definitely not is a rule everywhere.

My mail client has not to be fixed. It obeys all the standards headers
defined for the electronic mail by the IETF, in the STD and RFC tracks.

Additionaly, my mail client is not involved in distributing incoming
mail. When I receive mail twice, one I'm the direct recipient without
anything inbetween and one being transmitted by a mailing list, it would
be a bug in my MTA not to deliver the first in my personal incoming mail
box and the second in my hurd-l4 incoming mail box.

As for the other mail on this very subject, just prove me wrong if you
think I am, I will sincerely listen to your arguments if they are
consistent.

So far, no sound technical mean was proposed to me to prevent the
annoyance of receiving mails twice, so I tried a social mean.

Maybe this is an argument in favour of enforcing rules technically. ;-)

Simply,
Nowhere man
