important, these replies don't get added to the archive, and so are not part of the history of the

This information must be assimilated into the collective, so future generations
can learn.

It doesn't help that the Drakelist defaults to 'reply to sender', at least in my email program. That requires some small effort to hit the 'Reply to All' button and edit the 'To:' field appropriately. Something, I suspect, that many computer users don't even know that they can do - let alone how to do it.

I belong to two Drake lists (the other is the Yahoo list) and both behave differently. This one is as you describe so that replying to the list only requires clicking on "Reply All" and editing the To field, the other works as one would intuitively expect; clicking on "Reply" goes only to the list. Confusing because one must remember which way the list works. I belong to several mailing lists, I think another has this feature but am not sure. There is likely something in the list settings the owner could use to change the reply option. IMO it would be a good idea to do so.
