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.
