Because the ILUG mail configuration is to send replies to the sender,
not the list, in order to ensure that accidents don't result in
private mail being made public.

People tend to hit 'Reply All' when they want to reply to the list,
because they're lazy and couldn't be arsed editing the headers ;-)
