It tells you where to send replies _if_ _you_ _want_ _to_ _reply_ _to_ _the_ _list_. The idea here is it's up to the user to decide whether reply to the list or in private; List-Post tells the user's mailer where to send to if the user chooses to reply to the list, and From tells the user's mailer where to send to if the user chooses to reply in private. That, in my opinion, is the best way of eliminating the problem of private mails getting sent to the list and vice versa: you let the user decide to reply to the sender or the list, and the mailer knows enough to do both.
