I'm not in favor of this. This is a discussion list. We get into this room and
talk about Synth-DIY stuff, that's what the door says anyway. If we need to
discuss things of to the others we wisper them in the ear or drag them out
the door for that private conversation. The default behavour is to reply to all
and that is what I usually expect things to be. Only rarely do I bring things
off-list. I know that some people have as their default behaviour to only
reply to the sender, but most people is served by default replying to list.

For the old list, my default behaviour was to respond to the list, and that is
exactly how I want it. What have happend is that Mailman triggers a different
behaviour in your client. That is what you should fix to fit your needs.
You can also adjust your preferences as a subscriber through the web interface.

So again, no. Don't change.

Cheers,
Magnus - in the midst of rebuilding studio - to the better!
