"In my opinion, not having them default to the List, leaves a lot of unanswered questions in the archives because a lot of people just click "reply" and don't realize it's not going back to List" Possibly it could be set up so you can either reply to the list or to the individual? My AOL does that - it is rather annoying to have those lists whose every reply goes to the entire list - so much of the replies are just a thank you or something that is not relevant to the list at all.
