There is no "list reply" in my mailer, which is an extremely common
mailer.

This argument can be turned around for the _common case_ of replying to
the _list only_.  In fact, that's what I do 99.9% of the time.  So,
frankly, this whole line of reasoning leaves me totally cold and
somewhat perplexed at the insistence that I should care about it.

My preference is solidified.  Tom will do what he likes with the list.
