You have to be a member of the list in order for your posts to show up on your email. You can always post to most lists without being a member but you won't know whether your messages are being recieved or not by the members of that list. They call them bounces from non members. If you want to be able to read someones response to your post you have to be a member of that list. My suggestion is to join the list, if you find it as boring as I did while I was a member you can always unsubscribe. For my personal taste that list was way too scientific and technical for me. I have a minor in Chemistry from college and still found that stuff boring. Hope you find it more interesting then I did.
