This is an optional setting of the list-serv software, chosen by the list 
owner. It is an annoyance to those of us who have completely
set up our mail programs. I am on one other list that does this, and I keep a 
canned message (see below) that I send to off-list
replies, whenever tey are not obviously provate.

You replied to my posting directly to me. If you intended it to go to the list, you must resend it.

Some listservers pass through the "reply to" field without offering you the 
choice of the "from"or the "reply to" address when you
start a reply. I usually hit "reply all" and delete what I don't want to avoid this problem.
