If I do make a mistake, though, the impact is less if the reply does not 
default to going back to the list.  If I accidentally send it just to the 
originator, I can correct the error by sending it again.  If I accidentally 
send it to the list, there is no way to undo that.  Most of the lists to 
which I subscribe do not set Reply-to, and I prefer it that way.
