Most newsreaders these days, when you do a followup-to a moderated group
it automatically gets sent to the moderator.  During the renaming
the transition period was messy, so sometimes moderators got 30+ copies
of some postings, as people incorrectly had some groups moderated, not
moderated, and aliased.

The reply-to field is really only used for mail, and it depends on the
group whether it's appropriate for it to be the moderator's address or
that of the poster.  For c.s.u, most mail is about bugs in the programs,
and should go to the author, not me.  (Yes, I know that I don't do that;
I guess I'm lazy. :-)
