The problem with reply-to-list is that messages which are written in a hurry
with little thought will all go to the list.
This means that lists which implement it have more "me too" type messages and
flame wars tend to remain on the list rather than being taken to private
mail.
If you give a message so little thought that you forgot to address it
correctly then it's probably not a message that 10,000 people on the list
really want to read.
