Oh, I realize that chances are slim to do anything about it. So how did
this list get started? How old is it?<br>
Fortunately, there are other choices, which I can make, if re-posting
to Tutor becomes too often or long delayed by my cranky mouse use. ;-)
Two lists anyone? :-)<br>

<pre wrap="">I belong to many, many forums, Yahoo Groups, (Usenet) newsgroups, and
mail lists. Probably 100 or more. I think it's fair to say that none of
them but this one has an implicit "Reply All". For newsgroups and mail
lists, I just press my Mozilla Seamonkey mailer Reply button and the
resulting message is ready to be seen by everyone, a single address.
Here a Reply goes only to the poster, none to Tutor. Elsewhere, for
e-mail-like posts, if I really want to make a special effort to single
out the poster too, "Reply All" works to additionally get it directly to
them (actually they'd get two messages directly) and the entire list.
For YGs and forums, the "Reply All" is implicit in a response.
Since this group, in my world, is unique in these matters, I'll just
offer the following header for a mail list I belong to, the ASTC, for
someone's consideration. I suppose that someone might be whoever created
this mail list. It' definitely different than used here, and no one uses
"Reply All" to my knowledge.
Maybe they can figure out if it has applicability here.

This is a contentious topic which comes up at least once a year on this
list. A search of the archives will turn up some interesting debate,
most likely. FWIW, I like the behavior of this list as opposed to others.
You may find these additional references illuminating ... you may not.
