Hi all,

as disc...@openjdk.java.net was in the cc-list of those 3 posts, I just did "answer 
to all", as I thought my post would be interesting to all participants.
While that is an understandable opinion on the side of any e-mail author, in 
practice it is very rare that any single
e-mail message is interesting to all participants on any single mailing list, 
not to mention on multiple ones. See
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Crossposting .

I think, list moderators should accept such posts from un-subscribed senders, 
to avoid communication thread gaps.
No.

As a list moderator for a couple of lists, I should point out that I almost 
never moderate any posts through, with
the one exception being mercurial commit messages, since missing those confuses 
people about commits.

What is the right behaviour here from posters side?
Subscribe to a list in order to post to it.
I recently found out, that I could disable email delivery to me.
So now, subscribed to the list, I can CC to it without overflow in my email 
account.

Thanks your your clarification Dalibor.
