If the posting is a pertinent technical question then I submit that it is
unethical not to circumvent the restriction. This is a technical forum and if
there is no possibility of said posting being off-topic or intended to be
unpleasant then it should be seen and answered if at all possible.
Banning from a mailing list is just a rather ham-fisted way of saying that the
job of moderating an individual disruptive user is deemed too burdensome.
And, having moderated lists myself, I can sympathize with that position. But
if other, un-banned, list members are willing to judiciously moderate said
individual on a case by case basis then I see no difficulty at all.
