Even if they did, there is no way for the mailing list software or the administrators of the list to know who is receiving the messages or whether those addresses correspond to individual human beings. The list is just a list of addresses. It is quite possible, even likely, that at least one or two of the addresses subscribed to this very list are archiving every post, or perhaps reflecting the posts to email users on another network. In short, if you don't want it public, don't post it.
