Exactly - and this is why I totally am not in favour of replying to the
person rather than the list
Our British Car list used to reply to the list and if someone asked a
question everyone saw the answers and ensuing dialogue. Someone
complained about reply to list and the reply to was changed - the result
is that we seldom see the responses to questions and folks receiving the
info end up having to remember to forward all of the responses to the
list so others can share
Not a good idea to reply to sender on these help lists

exactly, therefore to change the default, you're changing this list
to where folks will now be corresponding privately rather than allowing the
list to hear what's new and learn from others.

I have to get use to using the "Reply List" instead of "Reply" to post a
message to the thread. It could be confusing to people, but does make it
easier to send a message to the poster, off list. I use to copy the email
address of the poster and then paste it to my "To:" section. This will be
easier to do that, but hopefully not too many people will forget to use the
"new" "Reply List" button instead of the "Reply" button.
myself, I am not so clear why people are interested in sending private
email to people on a public list. I did it yesterday but only because I had
trouble posting to the list and was overeager to get my word
('hucksterism') in.
the default mode on a list of replying to the list made sense to me. not a
big deal for me since I mostly lurk.
