At least from where I'm sitting. I always hit 'L', too. But in fact mailing lists (like usenet) are no chatrooms. So there's no danger that someone could miss anything. And I don't receive mail directly but fetch it via my pop3 account. With a delay of a few minutes I perhaps get a message an hour later than without. But I get it. > I don't like non list members just hopping in and hoping to be replied > back to directly, because this is not far from people replying back to ME > rather than the list if they have any questions.

If someone has a question, he/she has to be subscribed to the list for the time it takes for the question to answered. This should be no problem because subscription/unsubscription is automated.
