Yeah, the arguments against enabling "reply to list" are highly bogus.  One 
could just as easily argue that mail clients shouldn't have a "reply to 
all" function... how many times does *that* get abused?

I've been using lists for more than 10 years now and reply-to-list *is* the 
default behavior I expect.  Aside from this list and c.l.python, every one 
of the lists I subscribe to does it this way.

I can't say how many times I've provided thoughtful answers to questions 
only to realize that they didn't post to the list.  I can't be the only one 
who's done that numerous times.  This list would be a more complete, more 
informative, easier-to-use resource to use if it adopted the default 
behavior and put the list address in the reply-to field.
