I'm not sure who you're replying to, since you failed to quote the original
message, and my e-mail reader frequently puts posts in the wrong place in
threads, but several months ago, after Brad made a change to the mail list
stuff, the "Reply-To" header was changed to list both the e-mail address of
the person who sent the message and the maling list's e-mail address. This
means that my e-mail client (and probably others) now defaults to sending
e-mails to both those e-mail addresses when I reply to a message in the
mailing list, and I constantly have to manually remove the personal e-mail
address of the poster from the "To" field so that I only e-mail the mailing
list rather than sending to both the mailing list and the person directly.
So, if I or whoever you're replying to is sending you an e-mail in addition
to sending it to the mailing list, I suspect that that's why.

I sent a message to Brad about it when I noticed it and figured out what was
happening, but either he never saw it, or he decided not to change it for
whatever reason.
