The point is to prevent spam from making it to the list. If, once you
had posted, you were "approved" to post without a check, then any spam
or virus which faked your address would be able to post (this is similar
to lists with "subscribers-only" policies).

You've just spent time composing an email that you expect the entire
list to read; is it really too much to ask that you spend an additional
5 seconds hitting 'r' to reply? If it is, consider using Charles
Cazabon's pymsgauth program:
