Yes, but the opposite can also occur, embarrassing yourself greatly.
Do be careful.
I would suggest a note be inserted in the process of subscribing
to the email list letting new users know what the default is.

I, for one, thank you for making this change Curt! There are cases
where
replies should go private, and cases where replies should go to the
list.
In a list such as this one that's designed to foster communication
in a
group, I really believe replies should default to the list. Hitting
the
"reply" button is instinctive for many of us, and thinking you're
replying
to the list only to realize you sent the reply private, and then
having to
resend the message is one of the most frustrating things around.
Thanks again,
Jeremy, NW7JU
Be careful if you intend to respond privately now: Since the
default is to send to the list, you may have to manually edit the
"To:" field.
