I thought when the list was changed a few years ago to make it easier 
for the devs, IIRC, "reply all" was the only way to reply to the list.  
If "reply all" is not used, the reply goes only to the poster, not the 
list.  Has it changed again?  I am still using "reply all", unless I 
want a private reply.

Here we go again.  We (I) tried this in the past and was hit with the 
results of a survey that the majority liked the way it is. Remember, 
Tom?  Has something changed?  It is interesting that this list is still 
the only list I know of that works this way.
