I don't understand where this is coming from. The previous method enabled
one to:
a) reply to the list or
b) reply to the sender only
And again, why would one want to reply to both the sender AND the list?
Assuming the sender is a member of the list (99% of the time they are)
they are going to get the message anyway. I hate it when I get two
replies to the same message because someone was too lazy to edit the
headers of a poorly configured list.
The benefits of a list like this is that it is a public forum; it's like a
bunch of geeks in a big circle jabbering to each other. That's what gives
this list its unique character and usefulness.
Change it back.
