Yes, because every single one of my post to the mailing list (including 
this one) in the last 3 years are actually newsgroup posts to 
gmane.comp.java.drools.devel or gmane.comp.java.drools.user.

Actually, that's only your first post (per newsgroup). So when I just 
start using project A (xstream) and want to post to the mailing list of 
A (gmane.comp.java.xstream.user), I only have to verify my first post.


In any case, John Doe doesn't like littering his mailbox by subscribing 
to a mailing list, so pointing him to something like gmane or nabble 
will stop him from contacting developers directly (and lose the benefit 
of the community).
Maybe nabble is better though:
   http://old.nabble.com/drools---user-f11823.html
Gonna try posting from there to this list.

With kind regards,
