There is nothing wrong with this mail list, although it may not conform to
your personal preference.  This list does not dictate to the sender where
replies will go.  It leaves that up to the sender.  If posters want email
to go to the list rather than to them, it's simply a matter of setting the
"Reply-To" field to point to the list.  For those that want to make sure
that they always reply to the list, simply use Reply-All.  It's that simple
and gives everyone full control over how their email is directed.  IMO, that's
far better than a heavy-handed rule enforced by the list administrator, but
then that's my personal preference, which matters not either. ;-)
