I agree, but like Andre linked to, there's some pretty well-understood 
reasons why doing it is 'harmful'

I think mail client software should have a 'reply to list' or 
something, where you can reply to the list, and not reply to the sender 
as well.

I think I might change it anyway.  I think it's a bad idea for a 
non-members-only list, but on a members-only list, I can't think of any 
downside to doing it, and it keeps activity on the list which is a good 
thing.

Unless there's any objections, I think I will.  (Isn't this how LAD 
works anyway?)
