That page sucks.

I've been in this list for almost 9 months, and I never (*NEVER*) sended
an email with a reply to only the author of the original message.
Instead, many times I've lost several messages when I wanted to reply to
the list and accidentaly reply to the author (yeah, I have a Sent mail
box, but it tooks too much work forwarding the message to the list, and
yeah, I'm lazy). I'm tired of getting two times the same e-mail, and
I'm tired of "reply-all", click in the to field, erase the original
author from this field, change the Cc: field to a To: one, and send the
mail (and that's when I remember to hit "reply-all" instead of "reply").

I don't need any fundamental principe (like the author of that page
suggest) for convince me that this method is what I need.

For me, the actual state of the Reply-to just sucks.
