I personally would not like this at all. Most of the time, I want my reply to go to the list. I think that the default for the reply hotkey should be the most commonly preferred action. We would have people sending answers to questions only to the original poster. It would have to be explained to every new member that the reply button does not do what is generally expected on a list of this type. Some people don't even read the welcome message, since it's usually the same instructions. This would complicate more than it would solve. Please do not change how list replies work just to avoid a few one-line replies coming to the list.
