That may be, this is the only mailing list I'm active on which does that. When 
you ask a question in a public place, it would make sense to put the answer 
there too, for others to see, right? If no-one would send replies back to the 
list, you'd get a list full of questions, but no answers. That shouldn't be the 
case... IMO, the default reply address should be that of the list.
