I think that's the wrong choice. In the brief time it's been set that way
we've already found that more on-topic messages have missed the list than
personal messages have EVER hit it.

The "List Manual" is presumably thinking of a different type of list: one
that's used primarily for one-way dissemination of information with little
or no participation by list recipients. This is not that type of mailing
list, it's a discussion forum and therefore the appropriate setting for
"reply to" is to post to the list by default.

Please set the "Reply-to" back to posting to the list!
