Perhaps the suggestion is that now that the list has grown to such
a tremendous volume, this decision about what is wanted would change.
You want to encourage private replies that people want to be private to
not add to the traffic on the list, or so I would hope. 

My own taste is that high-traffic lists should normally send replies just to the
author being replied to, you should have to explicitly do a group reply
to get the message to the whole group!
