It's an anti-spam measure and quite a good one. I'm a moderator for a
number of other mailing lists and the number of times I've seen useful
posts from non-members is significantly low. I suggest you sign up to
the list (by clicking the link at the bottom of the email) this
ensures that all your messages are sent instantly to the list and that
 that you also see all the responses to your question.

By 'big flashy sigs' you mean an image in a signature? If you look at
most mailing lists posts they are plain text (this message included).
There is a very small minority of posts that are HTML and even fewer
with an image. If you have an issue with someone including an image in
a signature I suggest you talk to them directly and not make
accusations against all the members of the mailing list.
