The problem with this is that it presumes [by your use of 'only'] that the list
membership is either entirely [or primarily] made of folk who cannot manage to
do anything fancier/cleverer with their email clients than hit "reply". now,
if you had said that "..._some_ replies will go back ...unintentionally..."
that'd be closer to the fact, I think...
I'm not too fussed either way - but I find it much more convenient to have 'reply-to-list'
(One of the things that REALLY annoys me is receiving duplicate emails - you'll notice that if I reply to a list where I have to reply-all, then I'll always edit the To/Cc fields so it only goes back to the list.)
