Just curious as to why more than one poster is copying replies to my
posts to my email (as well as the primary response to the newsgroup)?

I don't know, but I see that my post headers show "from" and
your post headers show both "from" and "reply to". I assume
that if one were to click "reply", the text would go to both
Usenet and to you. See if you get a direct copy of this. The
header in this reply only shows RBT as I click "send"...

Single fault tolerance?

Nope. Only from people with the initials GD and LH.

Have to check the settings, since T-Bird is now up to 12.0.1.

Really? And does it matter?
My version is 2.0.017. Works fine.

Because you have:
Reply-To: twsh...@southslope.net
in your header. Forte Agent (optionally) ignores this line when it
points to an email address instead of a usenet newsgroup. I'm not
sure how other email and news clients deal with it. There are
probably some that produce an email reply, which is what you're
seeing. Thunderbird seems to have this problem, resulting in yet
another plug-in:

If I Reply All TS would get an email. If I Reply only, he wouldn't.

That's how Claws behaves too. [Claws Mail 3.7.8 (GTK+ 2.20.1; x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)]
