Sorry about that (and for the repetition -- after it happened the first
time I should've been looking out for it the second time).

All mails to this list contain this header:

  List-Post: <mailto:hates-software@xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx>;

So when I choose 'List-Reply' in Mutt mails go there.

But mails from Phil Pennock in addition contain this header:

  Mail-Followup-To: hate@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx

which Mutt also picks up by default, sending to both addresses.  Which
appear to be aliases of each other, so we get 2 copies on the list.

Which is the 'official' posting address for this list?  Having all the
headers configured to use that and keeping quiet about the alias would
help.
