I asked on the list a week or so ago  and I got 5 responses, + mine 
makes 6.  Three wanted Reply-to-List and three did not, including SGL, 
who imo was a NIMBY response.

There has been no overwhelming response either for or against.

I complained in the first place because a number of subscribers do not 
bother to delete the extra addresses from their replies or to change 
their company mailer to delete the -owner copies.
