Okay - that's exactly it.  My mail client even gives me the option to
ask or ignore.  When I set it to ask, it gives me the following as a
warning:

  You should normally obey the Mail-Followup-To: header.  In this
  article, it has the value of

  [email protected]

  which directs your response to that address only.

  Most commonly, Mail-Followup-To is used by a mailing list poster to
  express that responses should be sent to just the list, and not the
  poster as well.

  If a message is posted to several mailing lists, Mail-Followup-To may
  also be used to direct the following discussion to one list only,
  because discussions that are spread over several lists tend to be
  fragmented and very difficult to follow.

  Also, some source/announcement lists are not intended for discussion;
  responses here are directed to other addresses.

  You may customize the variable `message-use-mail-followup-to', if you
  want to get rid of this query permanently.

And if I want, I can tell it to ignore the header.  In general, it
actually seems a bit rude to ignore what the poster requested with their
configuration, so I'll keep it as obeyed, and continue to not manually
add in Felix to replies.
