I think it should be a matter of convenience to the majority of list
participants. I can plainly see your vote is to not reply to the list, but
do not understand the reasoning behind your choice from a convenience
standpoint. One disadvantage to the current list setup is that one must
reply to all to make their reply public. Unfortunately, this means the poor
soul who originally posted gets two reply posts. This DEFINITELY clutters
up the inbox.
In case it is not obvious, my preference is reply to list only. Currently I
belong to 8 lists and this is one of two that reply to sender by default.
And these two cause more problems than the other 6 combined.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Replying to the list...AGAIN!
I strongly DISAGREE. Replies should go to the requester ONLY. I had no
interest in "cutting aluminum tubes" and deleted the original plus all
replies, unread. A good policy is for the original requester to put out a
summary of all the replies received to the whole list, based on replies sent
to him individually. On occasion, I have asked the requester to get back
to me individully with his findings, and this has worked well. This list
is the most voluminous I subscribe to, mostly because a lot of folks think
they need to put in their two cents worth (like yours truly) and the train
of thought often gets totally off topic or at least highly irrelevant. If
every comment went to the whole list, I would unsubscribe, as there's just
too much trash to wade through for the few items of interest.
