There is a reason for this, that many who have joined the list since the
change was made won't realise.
Originally, the responses were the other way round, and hitting 'reply'
sent to the list rather than just the sender.
This caused a problem - because some Arachnes post from computers at
work, they were unable to turn off the email receipt notification and
these notifications caused havoc bouncing back and forth - especially in
the days when we could receive up to 40 Arachne messages per day! The
only cure was to change things round, so that any automatic receipt
would go to the sender, not the list - problem solved.
I still have copies of the Arachne Handbooks that were sent
automatically to new members to the list years ago, (I don't know if
they still are?) which explain some of the things like why the list
split (into lace and lace chat), netiquette, etc, would it be worth
posting them again? Bear in mind, though, that some of the information
in them is now out of date, but they make interesting reading.

Small comment. On my system I can usually just hit "reply" to answer to the
group. On Arachne I need to hit "reply all" for my answer to be seen by the
group as well as the person I'm answering. Sometimes I'll repost. Most times I
don't.
