Why don't we try it and see how it works? That was an option too. Maybe for one 
week or maybe a month so people can really see how it works and not just react. 
I think many of the voters for keeping it like it is don't realize that you can 
still "reply all", can't you? If you can do that for other emails - decide 
which to do that is - why can't you do it for the listerve so that people have 
to think before hitting the send button. I think it would be an improvement and 
wouldn't deter the back and forth conversations.
This listserve has been terribly abused in my opinion, and in this case change 
would be a good thing.

I also would like it to stay the way it is. The questions and follow-ups are of 
interest to me, as well. Since we all need reminders periodically and we get 
new members, it might be a good idea to send out a periodic reminder of how it 
is supposed to work. And thanks, Robin, for minding our network for us.

  Robin, it's good of you to take a vote on this.  I strongly recommend leaving 
the default as it is, a reply to all of the listserv.  That's the major point 
of a mailing list.  Any of us can, and do, initiate off-line conversations by 
replacing the To: recipient default with the email of the sender.

    It appears that, as the list administrator, I can choose an option called
    "Reply to Sender" which will "forcibly set the Reply-To: header to be the
    address the mail came from."  This would prevent accidentally replying to
    the whole listserv when you meant to reply to just the sender.

    Could I get a vote on whether you want to try this option?  Do you want to
    experiment with it and decide if we want to keep it that way?
