Right. It also works in the following situations:

1. Bob Smith posted without being subscribed; when the moderator
approves and somebody replies to Bob, whenever Bob responds the person
that he is responding to will receive his response right away without
having to wait for the moderator.

1a. Note that this means that crossposting to lists from other projects
works too (for example when there are discussions between here and
FreeBSD)

2. In the example (1) above, Bob is sure to receive the response,
whereas if the list was the Reply-To-set kind, Bob would never get it;
he'd have to troll the archives

3. Discussions continue to work even when the list servers die (happens,
even if rare) or they are very slow (relatively frequent)
