because it is confusing to have two lists for the same thing. I noticed 
this when I have had a question for a list I was not on. I did not know 
about the alias story until then.

This could simple be avoided if the list manager would send out a proper 
'reply-to' field. So, the direct reply would land always in the list and 
not at the writers desk.

Not using 'reply all' confuses new members as they wonder why the list 
is not responding.
