Actually, it hardly even matters why.  This is the way the majority of 
technically-oriented mailing lists are set up.  Users need to get used 
to it, making this list inconsistent with most lists just causes trouble 
for all of us that are used to these lists.  Eventually reply-to-all 
will just flow off your fingers, and it will be fine.  This whole topic 
is boring; when opinions differ it's best to just follow convention, and 
this list follows convention.
