If Fred cc's an IETF mailing list he's not on because a discussion on
another list has turned to how the IETF's FUBAR working group messed
up a spec (and maybe someone else did the first CC, and Fred's just
doing a reply-all), maybe he'll never see it at all, or only after his
"contribution" goes through.
That might be an argument for restricting posting to subscribers
only. At least some mailing list management software will let you put
yourself on a list but flagged as not to receive mail, if you already
read it through some other means (local bulletin board, web archives,
etc). Getting onto the list could be the way one indicates that one
has read the Note Well text, which was sent along with the link to
click to confirm blah blah blah.
I find subscriber-only-posting lists kind of annoying sometimes, but
if we do want to impose certain requirements on those who post, maybe
it's an easy way to do it.
