Came this utterance formulated by Mike Scott to my mailbox:
Consider the following typical scenario:-
1. unsubscribed poster mails the list
2. all on the list colour that in brilliant scarlet so they know to cc
the OP because he's unsubscribed
3. a 'regular' responds
4. that message hits the list
5. someone else improves on that response. But the chances are the
OP won't see this, because the reply from (3) isn't coloured(*), so
the latest reply(5) isn't cc'd to anyone, including the unsubscribed
OP.
6. Now you have a branch of the thread where the OP's address
doesn't even appear on the emails.....
Kind of defeats the object, it seems to me.
I can see making it very easy for new users to reach the Users list, but
I think that the Discuss list with it's different purpose should be for
subscribed posters only.
