I think the issue is that when people reply to the originator by mistake and
not the list, the list does not get the subsequent correspondence that is
definitely useful to the rest of us. If someone asks a question and someone
else answers it I think we should all see the response without fail so we
can all learn from the response. It also makes for better searchable lists
and averts redundant questions.
