far too many newbie list users and administrators set up lists so that replies go back 
to the list.  This URL states quite clearly and coherently why this is a bad idea.  
Personally, I have acquired too much scar tissue from misbehaving
vacation programs replying to themselves with a reply goes back to the list.  It's a 
real nasty death spiral that takes out mail servers on a regular basis.
