I for one hope that Dan Victor does not change the default Reply-To back to
tweeters.

As someone who reads the digest at high speed, and has to screen through the
frequent, automatic Include-Thread-In-Reply appends, I fear the return of
breeziness and digest length that the easy Reply-To-Tweeters button brings:

'Yeah, you couldn't be righter about that.'
'I saw one too once.'
'You can't be allowed the last pun. Here's another one just like it.'

If the message is worth sending to over 600 people, it is worth taking a
moment to type in an address. Perhaps that small pause will give one time
enough to say to oneself, 'This is chat, not information; maybe I don't need
to send it.'
