I belong to about 8 linux lists, a Treo list, and about 3 non-technical
lists, and only this one and the Dell lists do not default to
reply-to-list.

If the behavior of this list was typical, I would have an easier time
remembering that I explicitly have to reply to the list, but because I
never have to do it with other lists (except the Dell linux-desktop list
in which I lurk more than participate) I often forget.

This isn't important to me, but my preference is reply-to-list by
default.

The current configuration is historically used for lists that allow
posting without subscribing.  That way an unsubscribed poster gets a
response.  If I recall, this list requires subscription, but I may be
wrong.
