This is an email forum; you compose a reply by using the “Reply To List”
command in your email client.

If you don't have such a command in your email client:

* Complain explicitly to whoever makes your email client. Reply To List
  is a standard feature which works correctly in any decent email client
  for decades.

* Consider using a better email client. (You don't have to change email
  addresses, just use a better program to operate your email.)

* As a last resort, you can manually fiddle with “Reply To All” by
  removing individual email addresses, leaving only the list address to
  remain.

Email forums allow you to use the program you're already familiar with
for email, so IMO that makes them much preferable!

Here is <URL:https://www.mail-list.com/reply_in_a_mailing_list/> a
simple introduction to how reply works in an email forum.
