List e-mail replies should go to the list....

...this is the way that 99% of lists work, how people expect them to 
work and it is only people like you, Martin, who would expect anything 
else (!)

And, *please*, Steve, think about what you are suggesting before saying 
"as moderator, Martin, you can change what you want"... this man is 
mad... we know this, yes?!?! ;-)

*tongue firmly in cheek*

But, seriously, "reply to list" is better than "reply to sender".... 
otherwise there is no point in having it as a list... the idea is that 
person 'A' says "I am having a problem", person 'B' says "I have it too" 
and then persoin 'C' provides the solution and the whole list gets to 
see it....

In Martin's config person 'B' would reply to person 'A' and nobody else 
would benefit! That is not "community"... is it?
