As a courtesy to you I did that just now, but I prefer reply-to-all without my address deleted as it makes it easier to keep on top of threads I participate in.
Me, as many other people I know, in contrary get ennerved if they get double responses to their posts.
To avoid this you just have to tell the world that you are subscribed to the list. Mail-followup-to exactly do this. ;-)
Especially on large and public list I don't know who is subscribed and who is not. So the only way to solve this problem is that everyone who is subscribed propagate this information. Preferable in a way that the mail client can deal with it. So that you don't have to do a "replay to all" and than go through the list of recipients and decide which email has to removed and which has to stay.
Beside that, as mentioned by Werner, your mail provider, procmail and/or mail client should be able to detect and remove duplicates.
best wishes, Björn
