Be warned that this is a religious topic, and that the technical
arguments presented for both sides are (arguably) easily balanced by 
the arguments from the other side.  The following URLs contains 
reasonable arguments on both sides:

  http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
  http://www.metasystema.org/essays/reply-to-useful.mhtml  

Note that there are also some good pro-reply-to arguments under the
first URL, despite its title.
