I'm going to deviate from total professionalism here and point out
that this discussion is *entirely* academic, since the alledged
administrator of this list won't even respond to *my* emails.

the sender is useful. If you set the Reply-To to the list, then the
only way to reply privately is to copy and paste their email address.

I understand the reasoning for how it's theoretically simpler this

DOES
go to the list, that I typically (pause while I realize that even
this
time I forgot to push reply-to-all...DANG IT--there, fixed it) don't
remember to press reply-to-all on the two lists that I've ever
encountered that subscribe to this philosophy. What's the point
of a
public list if the default reply option is a private message?
