I set all my lists up this way also. Three reasons:

1) it's clear to everyone who you are replying to, plus
   that person gets an immediate copy even if the list is slow

2) some people don't see ANY headers in their mail tool,
   so this is the ONLY way they know who wrote the post!
   (unless you convince everyone to use a sig block, or
   set up the server to add the posting address to the body)

3) you have a choice, without copy/paste, of replying
   only to the poster or to the whole list (based on
   using "reply" or "reply to all"). Remember that some
   braindead mail tools don't show headers, so if a
   person wants to reply off-list, they may not be able
   to do it if you've configured all replies to the list.
