Why do so many supposedly clueful people have their vacation message 
system respond to mailing list email?

Because it's *impossible* to get one of the most popular MUAs to understand
that mail with an SMTP MAIL FROM 'owner-*@*' shouldn't be replied to.

So it's just a special case of "why do clueful people use software from that
vendor"?.  And since it's the holidays, let's just leave it at that.
