Ah, the well-known trigger for a "reply-to-munging considered harmful"
/ "is not" / "is so" bun-fight! ;-)

(My own preference is for the list's current configuration: the
consequences if you think you're speaking in private but are actually
speaking in public have the potential to be much much worse than the
other way round.  But I won't whinge if the consensus is in favour of
reply-to munging, and I'm not going to say anything else about this
issue here.)
