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.
