Alternatively, following such advice tends to result in lots of noise
going to individual inboxes as a result of people forgetting to use the
special reply-to-list functionality of a mail user agent.  The best
approach, I think, is to take a "principle of least surprise" approach.

When receiving email from a list, reply-to referencing the list is
unsurprising.  When receiving email from an individual, reply-to
referencing the individual is unsurprising.  Having to use separate
reply functionality for lists than from individuals, on the other hand,
tends to be very surprising.
