Responses to a mailing list message should go back to the mailing list
unless the original message requested private reply or for some off-topic
discussions.

With Thunderbird (the program I'm using) and the way the list is now
configured, hitting Reply to a message sends the reply only to the
originator of a message. I have to hit Reply To List to have the reply go
back to the mailing list.

  As contrasted to all the other lists/groups/forums that I read
  and reply to (a dozen or more), where hitting "Reply" in T-Bird
  sends it to the list/group/forum rather than to the individual.
  It gets frustrating, and contributes to my not posting as much
  as I want/should in this reflector because I start a reply,
  notice the undesired To: entry, and just dump it.   'Nuff said.
