No; from what I understand, M-F-T keeps growing, so when I reply to
your mail (which had your M-F-T on it), my M-F-T also includes your
address. That's a legitimate criticism, to be honest, or don't you
hate those ever growing CC lists, which are basically the same?

He wants CCs.

The manual describes it as:
Reply to the current or tagged message(s) by extracting any
addresses which match the addresses given by the lists or
subscribe commands, but also honor any Mail-Followup-To header(s)
if the $honor_followup_to configuration variable is set. Using
this when replying to messages posted to mailing lists helps avoid
duplicate copies being sent to the author of the message you are
replying to.
