Not a minority opinion as far as I'm concerned. My experience is that it
depends on the list - on most of the lists I run reply-to-sender is what
is most appropriate (in the eyes of list participants and myself as list
sponsor). In other cases, reply-to-sender is more appropriate. There's
no general rule.
