I don't think it's just you...
I believe some mailing list software has the option so the default
"reply" goes either to the list of the original sender. This could be
checked by the list admin.
Also - some mail clients (I use Balsa) have a "Reply to group" (in my
case, just hitting "g" instead of "r") which seems to do the right
thing here.
