The problem is, at least with the popular Thunderbird email program, it is very easy to mistakenly send a privately intended message to the entire group. Especially for users who subscribe to other mailing lists that do include List-Post in the message headers. Sending a private message to the group generally has negative consequences, as you can imagine.

I am quite all right with the reply to "Group" setting, as it is posted
in a group after all.
If I am replying to an individual OFF LIST, I am enduring the hardship
of cutting and pasting the address and add the OFF LIST comment.
I am not very pleased when I see the demand "Send a reply to me directly
as I do not check the group very often."
