My first thought was, "Because they're using broken MUAs."  Then I took a
look at your message's headers and found

Mail-Followup-To: Ben Lutgens <blutgens at sistina.com>,
        tclug-list at mn-linux.org

I checked Scott's message that you were replying to and did not find a
Mail-Followup-To: header.  Therefore, I conclude that your MUA must have put
that in.

In other words, people are cc:ing you because your MUA is telling them to.
(Of course, even if it wasn't, I'm sure a lot of people are using broken MUAs
and would cc you anyhow...)
