The point is if sizeof(People) > 0, it's a problem.

If 98% deal with it successfully and 2% don't there's still a whole

To put it anecdotally: of the lists I belong to that set Reply-To: to  
list, all of them have had incidents where people have insulted  
others by unwittingly replying to the list.  IMHO, this falls under  
'first, do no harm'.
