That's the default for this list. It seems a good idea to me, as something
posted on a public list should normally be sent back there in my opinion. But
others differ. It's a bit like religion and top/bottom posting.
I wish I could set my email client to always reply to specific senders (i.e.
lists), but alas I can't do it in Thunderbird.
IMHO, time-nuts is configured almost optimally, to reply to both the list and
the original sender. I personally drop the original sender and just reply to the
list.
