If I may:

1) He made the  incorrect statement that you need/want to  munge reply-to to
   have a discussion list. This is very incorrect. 
   Had he not  said that, I'd have  left the post alone: I do  not want this
   all too common misconception to spread any further.

2) his users  then come  on my lists  and bitch that  they want  the setting
   switched and  insist and my lists  are broken when in  fact they've never
   learned to use their mail client properly.
