So the non-subscriber subscribed, and their posts went through okay,
right?  (If not, and the moderator was in fact filtering all posts
to the mailing list in question, then this example is a red-herring.)

Gas tanks explode - we ban cars?
Cigarette butts cause fires - we ban cigarettes?
Moderators go loopy sometimes - we ban subscribe-before-post
mailing lists? 

You got me there, guv! I concede.
