You know, I've never even seen this discussed on a list where reply-to 
was rewritten back to the list. The fact that it only comes up in this 
list rather suggests to me that it's not 'religious' (ideologues tend to 
like to hear their own voice on their beloved topic  whereever 
possible!), but just a matter of practical annoyance.

I gave the article a very quick read, so I might have missed something, 
but it looks to me like the biggest mistake that the author is making is 
to assume that default list-answering behaviour is to   reply to 
original poster as well as the list. I doubt if many people want this. I 
certainly don't (as sender or recipient).
