Maybe they were searching for a "commonplace", to use Josh's word.

I set up a mailling list for the first time ever last night.  1) I'm
surprised I've gotten this far in life without having done it, and 2)
Some of these options in Mailman are confusing.  For example, if you
set "Hide the sender of a message, replacing it with the list
address", but set "Where are replies to list messages directed?" to
poster, how's that going to work?  I have some experimenting to do.
