This is the most important bit, actually.  Anyone who wants to post a
single question to haskell or haskell-cafe has to be subscribed, or the
reply may go to the list, no matter what he put into the reply-to
header.  Is it a good thing to shut out casual users?


Point. However, is there any sort of indication whether a poster is actually subscribed to the list? I would use reply-to-list as a default unless explicitly stated in an email that list-replies will go unread; and I tend to try to monitor lists after posing question on them at least long enough to detect any reasonably quick answers to my questions.

I view pine as something that should be classified as
reasonable

Pein (sic!) is not reasonable.  If you love it so much, please whip out
the source code, implement a "reply-to-list" function and get at least
one mailer removed from a silly debate.


This point has been made abundantly lately.

I disagree.

Very convincing.  Keep up the good work.


Quite a few of the arguments made on the originally refered webpage were of a highly emotional kind. Arguing such points boils down to whether the emotions expressed are shared or not.
