Rubin, did you add the ?? If so, that's how it works. The linux-kernel mailing lists are not closed. Anyone can post an email to the list address, if it passes the spam filter it will get forwarded to the subscribers. The subscribers will do a reply-all and your thread is off to the races without you subscribing. Or let's say there is an ongoing thread on the SATA kernel mailing list and they need to bring in a core developer that isn't subscribed for some reason. They can just add him or her to the TO: line and going forward they should be kept in the loop for that thread. It's a nice model for managing a large number of specialists mailing lists. No one wants to subscribe to all of them, but from time to time people need to interact with the people on one of the specialist email lists and don't want to have to subscribe->participate->unsubscribe.
