Personally, I think the l-cad list method is best - you see the sender's

I just realized something -- on the first read, I totally missed your personal
take on this.

Maybe the behavior should simply be a personal preference -- i.e., do you want
messages coming to you configured so that Reply-To is set to the sender or to
the group? -- with the default setting being to do a private reply.

If LCad moves here, I would think it best if the groups Reply-To is set to work
the same way that the mailing list does it.  We are used to having LCad replies
addressed to the whole list.
Occasionally, people post things that have the reply set back to them, and it
screws things up (for me anyway).

If I want to reply personally, I take the time to change the address.
