There are still a lot of users, on both technical and non-technical
lists, that use reply-to-all because the reply button sends a message
to the author in stead of the list. There might be many reasons for
them to do that (they're stupid, ignorant, don't know their MUA, use a
MUA that doesn't provide a reply-to-list button, or something else I
couldn't come up with within 10 seconds), but it's still common
practise, and it has been annoying more experienced users.
Also, I can see good reasoning in the simple concept: when I received
an e-mail from a private person and simply hit reply, I reply to the
person. When I received an e-mail from a discussion-list and simply
hit reply, I expect the reply to go to the discussion-list.

Tom
