As the list maintainer, I should step in and accept some responsibility for
this.  The "Reply-To" header on this list is intentionally set to the list
address, rather than the original sender.  This was done to encourage
general discussion (and seems to have worked!) but tends to make it too
easy to send private replies to the list.

I can, of course, change it so that by default a reply will go to the original
sender and a "Reply to all" will send to both the original sender and the
list (check your mail program for specifics on that).  Both behaviors can be
overridden by pasting in whichever address you want to the "To:" header, but
I thought I'd ask what people would prefer as the default.
