Indeed, messages can only make it to the list if they are from subscribed authors, but in addition, the first time a given author posts, he needs a human moderator to look at the post, see that it isn't spam, and whitelist the author. Now those moderators are few in number and none of them is at the keyboard 24/7 so your first message may have to wait several hours if it arrives at a time when no one is looking. Later answers (from any list subscribers) will usually be just to the list, on the assumption that the author is subscribed and therefore gets the list posts. That's why you shouldn't unsubscribe: if you do, not only you won't see answers to your original post, but you will have to go through the same rigmarole again if ever you want to post another message to the list. The only times to unsubscribe would IMHO be just before you decide to get rid of the email account, or just after you decide never to use Vim again.
