Believe me, it's a thousand times worse when you accidentally send a private reply to the list, because the reply-to has been changed and just pressing reply makes the mail go somewhere unexpected..
The 'other lists' have it wrong :-)
Agreed. I've administered a fair number of lists in my time, and I always avoid the reply-to field. I've also sent a fair number of "overly candid" private replies to public lists because of reply-to's being set on other lists.
