It's not a matter of sanity, it's a policy choice. Some lists set replies to the whole list; others set replies to the OP. Each approach has its own pros and cons. It depends on the (bulk of the) members' vision for the list: Active discussion or Craigslist/classifieds page? Neither one is right or wrong.
