The problem is that not all mailers have the ability to easily
override this.  Mine does, but many people respond out of habit
or don't pay attention to where it is going.
 
A suggestion to correct this is for anyone posting a note which
may generate many "private" replies to put a "Reply-To: <my addr>"
line in the header so that anyone just responding will send
it back to the originator.  That, as much as anything, will
reduce the number of extraneous notes considerably.
 
Fyi--you have to put a real address in <my addr> above.
