The good old "Path of Least Resistance"

Since the listserv is set up to make replies go to the sender, and I think
most people want their replies to go to the list, it's easier to click
"Reply All" and get the list address that way rather than click "Reply" and
then have to delete the sender's address and type in the list address.
