Yes, I'm well aware of the problem and I'm trying to find a solution. 
The software that the reflector uses, Mailman, only offers two choices: 
The From: field can be either the sender or the RTTY group. Making it 
the RTTY group causes the problem you mentioned above, but making it the 
sender causes the bounce problem. It's a dilemma.

For now, eliminating the bounces seems the lesser of two evils, so I 
would suggest everyone be sure to add a signature to their messages. 
Otherwise your post will be anonymous. Also, if you want a personal 
reply (off the reflector), include your email address in your signature.

I don't like this solution but as I say, the alternative is continued 
bounces. I am open to suggestions.
