I tried that when I signed up. I quickly found, however, that the list 
wouldn't accept posts from me as even though I could receive the list 
at a different address (thanks to a 'catch-all').. any posts I made 
would have my normal 'From' address, and the list would reject my post. 
I know the usual solution to this is to create another account in your 
e-mail program with a specific From address, but I wasn't willing to go 
to this hassle.. and used my regular address, unfortunately forgetting 
about the Web archive.

Thankfully I have a good spam system in place, but it's the first blot 
on an otherwise perfect record with this particular domain.. ;-)
