Well, some people prefer to reply directly from their inbox, others 
directly from the list. The convention on the PG lists is reply-to-all. 
Making sure the list is copied gives others the chance to add to the 
discussion.

Well, if you have access to prt 5432 (or whatever you are using) on the 
DB host you can run psql locally: psql -h <db-hostname>

As a last resort you can always see how they work on a local copy, then 
cut + paste the SQL.
