You may be unique in this.  Many other people have posted many
examples of reply-to being used legitimately.

Believe what you will, you're entrenched beyond reason right now to
the point where you won't even believe other people's first-hand
experience in far more luser-heavy environments (trust me, tech
support houses have normally clueful people that get knocked down a
few notches by the end of the day from the telebogodynamic rift that
causes morons to call in.  8:o)

The Marquam Bridge?  That one on I-5 that has several hundred tons
greater than it's designed capacity on it 14 hours a day, and has two
more lanes in each direction than it was designed for?  Hell no, I
won't even drive on it.  That POS is due to drop into the Willamette
any time now... Taking I-405 to US-30 is faster because everybody
slows down whiteknuckling the steering wheel going across the Marquam
anyway...
