And I'll be the first.
I think a link to this essay was posted before, and my comments then are
the same as now.
This essay looks at this issue from the author's own self-serving and
narrow-minded concerns. He bases his argument on nothing more than his
own (unsubstantiated) opinions and preferences.
You can take the same essay, change a few prepositions around, and come up
with the exact opposite argument quite easily.
Fooey. The author should be beat with a LART, and Chuck, you should be
smacked for bringing this up again :)

Yes. Obviously the correct approach is to munge both the From and Reply-To
headers so that unless the (l)user replying to a message edits his headers,
the message will bounce! Then we wouldn't get private messages to the list,
or public messages sent privately. Everyone wins! :-)

Wheren't you here this past February when we hashed all this out? Simon
Hill has another point of view:
http://www.metasystema.org/reply-to-useful.mhtml and even I make comment on
this at http://linus.slab.conman.org/~spc/replyto.html
I disagree with Chip and agree with Simon. But in any case, read
RFC-822---it actually allows Reply-To: munging.
