It is just the default setting. The list moderator can change this from
the administration page. Actually I believe it was the old default. New
groups created now should have the standard default.

The problem is most of us have two buttons, one is "Reply" and normally
goes to the sender, and "Reply-all" which goes to both the sender and 
the list.
The sender can easily be deleted. This is the standard behavior adhered
to by most net mailing lists and understood as normal behavior by authors
of email programs.

With the list set as it is both buttons do the same thing, send to the 
list.

Yahoo Groups has a polling function. Why don't we just set a poll and let
list members vote on the issue?
