this  can  particularly be a problem because of how reply addresses to
lists  are constructed. This message is addressed to MAU with the list
address in carrots following. If I were trying to replace that address
with  one  to  MAU@private.address  to  send  a  private comment about
something  on the list, my inattention might result in my choosing the
list  address  again, instead of the private one, and my catty comment
going to the list as not intended.

While this has never happened to me with Miguel, I have done it with
others, and it can be embarrassing.
