I subscribe to every list I post to, that way I can keep up with changes, 
though
I don't always read them and sometimes I unsubscribe months later. The 
reply-to
mangling is a no-no (from what I've read) as that breaks the standard for
mailing lists (reply should reply to the author, reply all should reply to
everyone involved (except BCC's), and reply to list (which some mail clients
don't have, such as IMP :(), should reply to the list only).

It's a good idea for making things easy, but I think breaking standards is
wrong.
