replying to list (I give up)

I give up. trying to reply to messages on this list is tedious. I can't pinpoint whether it's because the list is set up to make replies go to the OP or the OP has his reply-to in his mail client set, or most people are hitting the reply-to button instead of simply reply. It just doesn't make sense to me, why be on the mailing list if it hinders having a group discussion without having to jump through hurdles. It also defeats the purpose of being on a group list if replying sends the reply to the OP. Every message sent to this list, simply hitting reply should send back to this list and not the OP. -- Blessings, David M.
