That does explain the symptom I saw number of times, seeing list traffic that directly came to me hours before I see a copy on the public list mirrors like gmane and public-inbox. As it is a pain to access gmail inbox via imap (I was told that something called "offline imap" may alleviate the pain, but I haven't tried it yet), I tend to use NNTP interface to either gmane or public-inbox almost exclusively, so like everybody else, it often takes a message hours before I see it due to this throttling. I do not see the message I am responding to on public-inbox, and I am responding to the copy I got direct from you, for example.
