I've honestly never seen this written down and you are the first person 
I've ever noticed complaining about it :-S

Ditto.

...as do the yahoo groups mailings, and, again, in all honesty, I've 
found them more annoying because I associate hitting "Reply" with when I 
want to mail the poster only, and there's no easy way to do that when 
replying to yahoo groups mail...

In short, I concur with Chris's shrug... maybe it's a name thing...

cheers,
