It should be the default on ALL lists.  Lists that reply to the list
are Bad because it makes it hard for a user to actually respond privately
when a private response in warranted.

RTFM.

You cannot run with "no cache".  You must run with _some_ cache, even if
it's a small memory cache.  It means you'll have to go off to the network
on every request that isn't in the cache, which means all reads will be
network-latent as opposed to local-disk-latent.  OTOH, it depends how much
cache thrashing you expect on your system.
