Posts to cohousing-L should not have many recipients

I just forwarded 5 posts about '... mentally ill community member' to the
list because the original message was sent to many recipients including
cohousing-L. (The four replies from people who were some of the additional
recipients went to all original recipients including the list.) Having
many recipients on list posts has two undesireable consequences so
please dont do it.

First the listserv software considers many recipients as an indicator that
it may be spam and holds the message for me to look over.  Second all the
additional recipients addresses can be seen by all recipients which I
consider bad form. (IMHO, the latter applies to mailings to messages to
many recipients wheter the list is one of them or not.)
