If you set a reply-to, you are forcing most mail clients to reply to the
list when the user is trying to reply to the sender only.
A small list of mail client (like mutt) can be told to ignore reply-to or to
ask whether it should be honored.

Note too  that because  of this,  I don't  see your  answer until  way later
because I'm  not Cced and your  mail just sits  in my spool, along  with the
other 1000+ list mail messages I have.
(not that I overly care either way, but that's why I don't typically use
list reply to)
