The decision was made many many moons ago to make the default REPLY TO address the address of the original sender, rather than the mopo-l address. This was done because there were several instances of people who had meant their reply be private to the post's original author but instead the message went out to MoPo at large.
We can revisit this decision if you like, but I do remember a couple of very private negotiations that accidentally went public. You can always use REPLY ALL, then your post gets sent to the original author AND the group. Opinions on changing the REPLY default?

Might be better if that could be reversed.

It does seem that MoPo generates a great deal of discussion but a lot of it is "Offlist" for the recipient only so the thoughts of various members are never made public to the entire list. I wonder if this is just applicable to MoPo because all of the email addresses are readily available. I would imagine that this wouldn't happen so much on the other discussion boards because it takes more time and effort to contact members off list. Maybe it might be better for people to post their thoughts publicly rather than private emails which defeats the purpose of a discussion board. Just an observation.
