If I post a question to a list, I am also a subscriber to the list and I get replies to my question that way.

A mailing list may have a web archive, but the standard thing is that the conversation goes via e-mail.

So, to post to _this_ list, you had to subscribe to it. You may remain a subscriber until your question is answered. Where is the problem?

I think you are talking here about a web forum, where you can "subscribe" to information posted to a certain thread. I never saw this in a real mailing list.
I Cc: this reply to you to make sure you see it - but I won’t do this for every message I write to any mailing list normally.
