Not if you use a decent mail client (such as mutt {the one true mail
 client}) where you press L to reply to list.

There is a standard thread of about 30 messages about list reply to.
Please don't repeat it here.

I'm sorry if the current setting does not suit your situation, but I'm
pretty sure this list is not going to change, and you will just
generate more 'uncsiribe me!!!1!' messages.

The amount of 'uncsiribe me!!!1!' messages won't change, because they will appear anyway, no matter what topics are being talked about.

The purpose of the mailing lists is to discuss things _on the mailing lists_, so a default Reply-to header is *mandatory*.
This header could be unwanted only on announce lists.

Besides, this situation repeats on other lists, so I've mailed the mailman@xxxxx address, so the mailman admin will change the default setup for new lists and modify the setup of others.
