Shay. Thanks for the explanation, although please forgive me if I still
don't agree with the system and think the reasons are a bit thin.
Maybe some of us don't have to think too much or carefully about
writing and are perfectly capable of responding or posting correctly
and can actually hold the responsibility of just hitting reply. I
don't experience the 'problem' on any other list apart from maybe a
very rare occasion, but maybe you get more of your fair share of
knuckle draggers in this neck of the woods.:-)
Just my opinion. Not trying to change anything, just asked why.
Cheers, Matt.

The problem with 'reply to sender' as the default is that many
(particularly novice) users intend to reply to the poster, and don't
realise it's actually going via the list. This of course is then
usually followed by a post which says "I'm sorry about that". And then
possibly a post from someone else which says "That's ok" etc.
