Subject: Re: [discuss] why be subscribed (was this)

Came this utterance formulated by Robert Derman to my mailbox:
I have a question, if someone is not subscribed to this list so that
they will not see replies to their email, then why is it that their
email is even visible to those reading this list? And furthermore,
what is the point? It just seems to me that if they are not
subscribed, then their email simply should not make it through to this
list in the first place. Am I just dumb that I don't get this?
Both this list and the user list have been intentionally made as easy to
contact with questions as possible. This is to ease the way for newbies.
Regular contributors on the list know to reply to both the list and the
OP when a non-subscribed email hits the list (in my mail client i have
filtered unsubscribed posts to a seperate sub-folder). In that way we
become a help-desk without flooding the OPs email address with all the
other emails unrelated to their question.
It works, it just takes some getting your head around.
