It usually is ... though as with almost anything involving courtesy issues, some people probably feel differently.
The reason why this list (and many others) does not use Reply-to: to redirect to the list is more technical than that. I haven't looked at this issue in years, so I no longer trust my memory of the idetails well enough to try to discuss them. Do a Google search on "reply-to munging evil" and you will probably find the sites set up by the people who feel strongly about this issue.

I didn't. Can one put a hard drive and CDROM on the same channel? I thought that that was not advised.
Well, I don't know what information source you are referring to, but I know of no problem with doing this, either in theory or in practice ... I do it myself here. There can be timing problems with CD *writing* if you put a CD *burner* on the same channel as a hard disk, *AND* you try to burn an iso image from that hard disk. But even that isn't a sure problem, just a risk.
