I use a procmail recipe similar to John's.

1) I have quite a few lists, and I have been too lazy to go to all of
them to turn off the reminders.  One procmail recipe is easy, and it's
not really all that much bandwidth.

2) Not all of the lists are running mailman 2.1, which has the feature
to turn off the reminders (previous, in mailman 2.0, it was a site-wide
thing).
