Well, I'm on... (counts) over 40 different lists of various
amounts of traffic, and all but 2 or 3 munge the headers.
I think you just happen to be on a minority of lists that
don't do it...

But... I think the most important thing to remember is the
original "Oh no" post.  No one is ever going to win this
argument...

The only way to be sure is to take a vote, but considering
there's usually only a couple people that don't want munging,
and at least 50 (probably considerably more) subscribers to
the trilug list, I doubt no-munge would win.
