This does make sense, except that when a player replies to a message  
on -business, they may or may not be doing business. When the reply- 
to for -business was -business, we frequently got nonbusiness on the  
list, because players would just hit "reply". As it stands right now,  
the reply-to for -business is -discuss, which prevents that, but  
which sometimes means that a player meaning to post to -business  
accidentally sends to -discuss. One method of combating this was to  
allow a Minister in charge of tracking something to recognize  
relevant action that were sent to the wrong forum; e would be  
required to notify the business forum that e was doing this.

Or we could just change the reply-to so that -business replies to  
itself by default, and we could live with the inevitable scraps of  
discussion on -business.
