When I send a message out to your vast populace I get a copy back at me.

I am the listowner and I believe I can answer Randy's "quick question." Because you are a member of this group, you will receive all messages sent to it. So, if you send a message, you (as a list member) will receive a copy. I know of no way to keep a sender from receiving the message once it is delivered to the group.
