Personally, what I do (which I'm doing with this post) is to use Gmail's "reply-all" feature, and then manually delete the individual addresses. Sometimes, half way through writing up a post, I decide to send it privately rather than to the list, and then I delete the list rather than the author. (Not usually with this list, though; more often with Savoynet, where private replies are more common, and there's no newsgroup equivalence.)
