Dick,
Common mail list protocol normally is: you post a question, others post 
answer(s), you come back and read the answer(s), and (possibly) post 
follow-up questions/comments.

While some posters will "reply to all", others won't. It's a personal 
thing. Personally I don't need the answers to my question sent to my inbox 
directly. It just gives me two copies of the same message.

However, if you desire to be replied to directly, simply ask that 
responders do so. I'm sure you'll find that most will.
