It's another religious issue - as I see it, the message in your inbox is
"From:" a person, so hitting reply should make that reply go to that
person, not to a few thousand other people as well.  I've seen worse
embarrassing miss-posts on mailing lists set with the Reply-To: header
of the type you suggest than the mild annoyance that you got when your
mail went to an individual rather than the list.

If you want the message to go to the mailing list, hit "Reply To
List" (Ctrl-L), not "Reply to All", that will make your reply go to the
proper place as derived from the mail headers and makes sure the person
you are replying to doesn't get two copies.  (Another bit of netiquette
that seems to be forgotten about.)
