using this list

[auto15963931 at hushmail.com]

I noticed that this list is also available on gmane as 
"gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.user", which allows retrieving the 
messages in a newsreader in lieu of in email.  I prefer the 
newsreader format.  Is there any reason I cannot remain subscribed 
with this same email address as the user ID but stop having the 
emails sent to me, while instead start getting the messages with a 
newsreader and use the newsreader for continuing my correspondence 
so long as it is done with the same user ID? Does that work? On the 
other hand, can anyone send a message to the list from gmane while 
using any arbitrary ID? Thanks.
