Having run lists for a several organization, I found that the default of
"Reply to Sender" works best.
Why? Well, on more than one occasion, someone would "Reply to the group"
with comments directed at only the sender. This often resulted in someone
getting upset, most the originator of the message, but often others who
continue to reply to the group about the person who made the remarks.
So rather than the administrator have to deal with this,
it is the standard that list operations use the "Reply only to sender".

Bill,

My mail browser by default replies to the sender only.  This is the only
list I subscribe to that has that default and I always forget that.
