They are only mistakes in your mind. The normal way to reply is to use
reply all


Completely wrong.

- The normal way to "answer to all" is "reply all"
- The normal way to answer on the list is "reply list" ("reply to list",... depending on the software)
- The normal way to answer in private is "reply to sender" (or equivalent)

"Replying to all" by default is a moron behaviour.
Sending explicitely a message to someone who doesnt want that is spam (although some mistakes are forgivable): If some want only to receive message from a mailing list, you should ask before talking in private (explicite "To:" or "Cc:).

You choose who to answer to, and you are responsible if you dont double check who are you replying to. And people are quite right to blame you if you hit the "send" button without being sure you have the correct recipients. That includes the fact you are blamable whan you use a screwed MUA.
