Question: Reply All or just "Reply?"

Here's an "e-etiquette" question: When you're part of a distribution list at a company, etc. and you get an email from a manager congratulating someone for a job well done, exciting personal news, etc...do you send your response so that *everyone* on the list sees it (i.e. "reply all") or just the person who's the subject of the message??

My thinking is that instead of bogging down everyone's inbox with a 'reply all' comment...just send it to the appropriate person. I spend a lot of my time waiting for e-responses from clients and sometimes when my computer "dings" and the new email is a 'reply all' response...it's well...a little disappointing...okay...annoying.
