Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing. It drives me bonkers when I get
personal emails that are just copies of what I've already read on the
list. I read debian-user through gmane, too, so procmail doesn't help
(before anyone brings up that old point).
It doesn't bother me if no one gets the reply; it just bothers me when I
do =) And anyway, Alvin, I don't have your level of faith that the
folks in question would notice a bogus/odd reply-to.
