You should keep in mind that this _IS_ a mailing list and the fact that it can be accessed through a newsreader is something of a by-product. So it is not surprising, that mailing list subscribers reply to posts as if they were coming from a mailing list server rather than a news server. I don't know the technical detail of how posts sent to a news sever reach this list. The header of moderated posts coming from non-subscribed users normally include a line which reads "Delivered-To: moderator for [email protected]". Since your post showed up on the list as coming from a subscribed mailing list member, how are we to know that you are posting to a news server? I hope this assists you in understanding the cause of your confusion.
