It is common list etiquette to use reply to all so the poster gets a copy of the response to the list. If someone asks a question and is only sub'd using the digest it can take a week to resolve the issue if they are only replying to the digest. Or in my case I can lag several days behind in my list mail, whereas if I get CC'd it ends up in my inbox and I see it sooner.
