Then actually it makes it hard in these mailes to reply to just the
list. Since the bulk of the list is made of public discussions done
by replying to it, this may be a good reason to have it be the default.
After all, if you want to just reply to the author, you have to do
something more complicated once, and after that you reply to him normally
during the private discussion. With the actual scheme, the complicated
thing must be done each time you want to make a public answer.
