No it isn't.  Just because you don't understand it or agree with it
doesn't make it stupid.  In fact, the guy is right.  Unfortunately,
raster is also right -- there are far too many ignorant, lazy, and/or
careless users who cannot take the 2 seconds required to check the
destination for the reply they're composing.

This discussion has reached near-religious status, and it will never
ever be settled.  Fortunately my e-mail client is intelligent enough
to reasonably cope with both settings.  When I hit reply, it asks
whether or not to honor the reply-to header.  Or I can hit group-reply
or list-reply to enforce the alternate behavior.

So, to those of you complaining about the old behavior without the
reply-to header pointing to the list, I have this to say:  Get a
reasonable mail client and learn to use it properly.

And to those of you complaining about the new behavior with the
reply-to header pointing to the list, I have this to say:  Get a
reasonable mail client and learn to use it properly.
