Actually, the list bot is even more stupid than that - a first-time 
poster that subscribes first is STILL moderated (and sometimes you can 
see evidence of that when someone posts 2 or 3 nearly identical messages 
in a short time - first before subscribing, then again after, thinking 
that subscribing will make a difference). Whitelisting happens 
independently from subscription.

But also a hearty thank you to all list moderators that reduce the 
amount of spam actually making it to the list.
