Re; http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
Some points are valid, but the whole "Some administrators claim that
Reply-To munging makes it easier for users to respond to the entire list,
and helps encourage list traffic. These benefits are fallacious. Moreover,
Reply-To can have harmful -- even dangerous -- effects." line, makes it
sound like he's mad for that feature biting him on the arse. 

On that note, I agree with most of the notes, and sorry for not reading,
but I only fetched the addresses and did not throughfully read the welcome
email. However, this topic is for another discussion which I will -
hopefully - not start :)
