For what it's worth, in my opinion a mailing list
that is intended to foster communication and
participation becomes 'next to useless' when the
"reply-to-poster" option is used. Many people
(even those that 'know they should use Reply All')
will Reply, and with reply-to-poster the rest of
the people on the list don't see that part of the
"conversation". It's sort of like having a committee
meeting where people wander in and out of the room,
and keep missing bits of the meeting.
