I prefer option A.
I also see no need to use "reply to all" when on a mail list as "reply to"
effectively does the same thing.

I'd like to pose a quick question to the list membership.
There has been a bit of discussion (both today and in the past) regarding
the function of the "Reply To:" and "Reply To All:" functions on si-list.
A. Present Functionality is:
"Reply To:" sends a message back to the list. (which I
personally
like)
"Reply To All:" sends two messages back to the list (which is pretty
useless)
B. We can easily implement alternate functionality:
"Reply To:" sends a message back to the sender.
"Reply To All:" sends a message to both the sender and the list.
I've been kind of resisting changing anything as I remember the confusion
that
ensued the last time we toyed with this a couple years ago, but perhaps it
is time to make things work 'right' whatever that is.
I'm soliciting comments: Do you prefer mode "A" (the way it presently is) or
mode "B"
(the alternate functionality) ?
Please reply directly to me rather than to the list (to enhance the
technical signal to
noise ratio on the list). After I gather a reasonable number of opinions
I'll summarize
the responses and modify (or not) the way the REPLY function works on list
messages.
