I wasn't around for the decisions about the list settings, but can
imagine a possible thought process - if someone's replying to a job
posting (as the list is often used to post), probably want to make it
unlikely that a reply would accidentally go out to the list - could be a
"career-limiting error" in some cases. ;-)
Though aside from that guess as to why it might have been done that way,
I don't have a vested interest one way or the other.
