I beg my pardon.  Even if we put aside, that this is bad practice that harms 
readability and searchability of mailing lists, how do suppose everyone to 
follow that request — by keeping it in mind or what?

If you are insisting on it, at least try to formalize it: set ‘Mail-Copies-To’ 
header to ‘never’ and configure your useragent to insert ‘Mail-Followup-To’ 
that does not include your address (afair, Thunderbird is capable doing it 
properly).
