I'm not saying which behavior is correct (I already made my opinion clear,
I think), but you have to remember one thing: people have been on this
list for months (or in many cases, years), and are used to doing group
replies. There are many other lists that have a "reply-to list" policy - did
you see double postings in such lists, or many accidental postings? I didn't.
It's just a habit that people will need some time to shake, I think.
P.S. why do you call the previous behavior "normal"? Can somebody do an
informal survey of several mailing list, to see what reply-to policy most
of them use, or what behavior most users expect?
