This may be desirable in your case, although I'm having a hard time
imagining a mail-reading routine which would make it difficult to notice
responses such as this, but it is blatantly incorrect behaviour for the
vast majority of mailing list replies. (I, for one, would be - and
sometimes am - quite irritated to receive a private copy of a message
sent to a mailing list to which I am subscribed. At best, a private
heads-up that a reply had been sent would be appropriate; even that
would be annoying in most cases.)

Also, no one removed your address from the reply; it was never there in
the first place. This is because of the Reply-To header, which (properly
IMO) is set to include the mailing list address when it goes through the
list. I can understand your objecting to not receiving a private copy,
although it seems odd to me that you would readily fail to notice a
response to a thread which you started, but please don't accuse people
of doing such things intentionally; even I don't remove names from
Reply-To headers without good reason, although I do set Reply-To back to
the list so as to prevent replies to the private copy from coming only
to me (as I have done in this instance).

Also, I'd like to note that making multiple identical posts - especially
in rapid succession - is considered, at best, Very Bad Form. Failing to
quote in any of them only exacerbates the problem.
