There are cases where posters have no need or desire to subscribe to the 
list.  For example, I moderate a job posting list where we screen 
postings for our members.  Most people posting jobs aren't seeking them! 
  It'd be a bit silly to expect hr/recruiting folk to subscribe.

In our case, I believe they can just check when their post went through 
because the archives are public, but I'm sure they'd prefer the email 
rather than having to check back a day later!
