Further, it DISCOURAGES discussion, by removing replies from the list
by default. This is a TWO-WAY list, not an "announce-only" list. If
that were the case, or if it were moderated I could see having the
"reply-to" set to the poster, or to the moderator. However, as I
stated, that is NOT the case. This is a WIDE-OPEN list, not an
announce list. This list is supposed to be for DISCUSSION, not for
one-way traffic. Sure it generates a lot of traffic, but if you can't
handle the volume, get the hell off the list!
I, too, request "Reply-To" being set to the list address. It's
annoying as hell when you have to go out of your way to reply ONLY to
the list!
