No problem, I was just interested to hear your reasoning...

That's probably true, if info-gplv3 is going to work like an open
mailing list, where anyone (at least any subscriber) can post.
It's not yet clear to me how will it work.
Actually the subscription page (http://www.gplv3.fsf.org/) made me
initially think it was rather something like a newsletter or anyway
something similar to our *-announce@lists.debian.org lists...
Later, when I subscribed myself and saw it is run by Mailman, I changed
opinion...
Anyway, all these speculations are probably moot, as there is the
password issue I mentioned earlier in this same thread...

:-)))
That's true, I cannot deny it... :p
What I was actually thinking about was signing up debian-legal *XOR*
signing up individual people.
But, as Nathanael pointed out, interested people will have to subscribe
anyway in order to partecipate, so you seem to be right...

Don't worry, it wasn't a great inconvenience, as long as it doesn't
happen often.
But lately several people seem to direct replies to me, and I always
have to explicitly remind them that I haven't explicitly asked to do
so!! ;-)
That's weird...
