I'm not on such a list (we're expecting to switch to Mailman when it
settles down). But I would be perturbed if on a single list sometimes the
Reply button sets up a reply to the list and sometimes it sets up a private
reply. [I can--and do--deal with both kinds of list, and both are a
nuisance some of the time.]
The idea that Reply's result on a single list depends on who* sent the
message seems like a faulty solution to the unsolvable problem that neither
reply-goes-to-the-list nor reply-goes-to-the-sender is right. [Right would
take mindreading: reply goes where I expect *this* reply to go.]
*Or, even worse, where a given person was were when the message was sent.
