By changing the default behavior to reply to the sender, as opposed to the group, means that  either a lot of messages are sent twice (once to the user, then, oops, once to the group) or never received by the entire group. In the first case, the original sender receives two copies of the reply. In the second, the rest of us answer the same question the same way 32 more times back to the original sender.
