As I write this message I'm thinking that the audience consists of

have,

Most lists contain lurkers who don't contribute if they see their 
concerns being discussed by others. Very few people post to lists saying 
just "I agree with X".

However, apart from that, this is a personal/cultural thing. If I knew 
you were not going to read this, I would still post to the list in order 
to get my response on record.
