I don't want to start a huge debate here...and maybe it's already 
been discussed...but IMHO if you're not SUBSCRIBED to the list, then 
you shouldn't be able to POST to the list.  It's incredibly annoying 
to have to strip out the sender's address when I reply to all, which 
I have to do because the default action for Reply is to send it to 
the sender.  If it can be changed, I'd petition that the default 
"Reply" action be to send to just the list.  Sending to the sender 
directly is the exception, not the rule.

Isn't it?
