There's a difference between setting up the mailing list software
behavior, and how you personally reply to a message. Reply to all on
your mail client will currently send multiple messages as you state,
unless like me, you edit the recipients to only be "shop-talk".
However, configuring the "reply-to" header in the mailing list software
(a trivial 5 second change) means only the list gets a copy- no
personal copies are sent.
