I agree. I have had a handful of replies from people
on this list sent directly to me, with information
which I feel would have benefited others on the list.
I didn't forward the messages back to the list as I
couldn't be bothered to ask the sender if they had
wanted it to go to the list or not (and didn't want to
look silly asking such a question).

I'd be up for changing the reply-to, if it's up for
the vote!

Steve.
