until the advent of the spam trap you didn't have to be subscribed to post to the Lyst, so until recently it wasn't as if a subscription list was any use in telling you who was out there, anyway.
Strictly speaking, since the changeover to the new listbot this is the case again. A post from a non-subscriber will get stuck aside waiting for my approval, and if it meets the criteria for the list (on-topic and in plain text, basically) I will always approve. When I do, it gets sent out, and there is no reliable way for anyone to tell that it isn't from an ordinary subscriber.
