Reply-to-All is that hard to use?

Changing Reply-to to be the same as the list address means that reply 
and reply-to-all do the same thing which is annoying if you are in the 
habit of using reply for private responses and reply-to-all for public 
ones.

Although in my experience it seems that an ever increasing percentage of 
email users have no idea that reply-to-all even exists, quite 
frequently I end up forwarding replies sent directly to me to our 
internal tech-list so that we can keep an archive.
