So you're THE judge of what's "right" and what's "wrong".
I'd say that David has much more right to that title than you do.

Some people (like David) have seen one too many mail loop. If he says
he's afraid for mail loops, I'd guess that there is a better than 50%
chance that he's right. Not because you're creating an obvious mail
loop, but because others have things configured in such a way that you
will inadvertedly create a mail loop.
If you're doing what I think you are, then people who have a local
mail forwarder "lk@some.where" that forwards mail to the local
subscribers, and forwards submissions by the local subscribers
to the list under the "lk@some.where". Your submission to that
address might get sent to the list again, because it is not
"from linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu".

Really, it will eventually die down. But behaving anti-social is not
the "way to go".
