cc to people in the thread is the established practice on these lists.
It provides a bit more robustness when the lists are busy or slow.
You can set your subscription so the listserv won't send you an extra

I was wondering why it's necessary to parse the entry in the dump file
at all, rather than just spit it out to PQexec as-is. There's probably
a reason, but maybe we can find another way to solve whatever the
real problem is.
