There are times for replying to the list, and times for replying to the
poster. Consider the two scenarios:

A. No munging.
Reply to list:   click reply-all, remove one name from the to box on your
e-mail system.
Reply to poster: click reply

B. Munging.
Reply to list:   click reply.
Reply to poster: click reply, select the list address, type in the poster's
address and hope you get it right.

Assuming that you do any replying to the poster, scenario A is better. That
is not a reasonable assumption, for some people, but for many of us it is.
