Mostly there are to types of postings;

- a non-list member who wants to ask something.

how to subcribe.
Problem; if the do not subcribe the do not recieve a responds. I think
posters only wants to ask something and not understand the idea of a
mailing list.
Is it better to reject the posting and inform them the have to subcribe?
The can see it like a insult if you reject.
I think it would be a valid way of acting to just post to the list - the
archives are publicly available, so someone could in theory send their
mail, and read the answers that way. I don't know whether anyone actually
does it, but the possibility exists.
