If you want to bring THAT discussion up, then at the very least address 
the stated shortcomings of your proposed setting. As long as you ignore 
those, you are talking, but not listening (in other words, this isn't a 
discussion).

They are listed at http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html, but 
the ones I mostly want answered are these two:

    * With reply to set to the list, the failure mode is catastrophic,
      while with it not, the failure mode merely means having to resend
      a message.
    * Sending a private message with reply to list is much much much
      more difficult than sending a public message without it.
