This is a characteristic of older list software, tracing back to the early days of the Internet. In those days, bandwith was very precious, so why waste it sending people copies of their own messages. Also, people frequently had to pay a charge for each message they received. Nowadays, with folks unaware of this history, someone will send in a message, not receive a copy, send in a few more copies, then other folks send in "we got it, stop already" messages, all of which results in a waste of bandwith, which nobody cares about anyway.
