Yup, we've considered that setting, Ian. 

These accidental responses are actually rare. They only happen a few times a 
year. If we were to change this setting, it would potentially impact everyone 
who attempts to respond to the list. So we'd be trading a few mistakes a year 
for dozens of mistakes of year.

We don't believe that's a good tradeoff.
