Jay,
the problem with replying only to the sender is that great chunks of
discusions go missing. Someone asks a question on the list, which I too am
interested in seeing an answer to. If replies are sent only to the
originator then we miss out on useful info and, often a bit of light-hearted
banter too.
I think the solution is to reply to the list, but to select out individuals'
names so that they don't get a list message plus a duplicate.
