People can post without being subscribed, and most people around here
will CC them when they reply.  That's supposed to be a feature of our
lists.  Maybe when you receive such a question you can forward it to a
list CCing the person.

Not that I disagree with your opinion that a smaller list is desirable.
I think collapsing lists into -general or whatever would be a terrible idea.
