I've been on mailing lists, including UseNet news groups that go back to when Unix systems transferred files between each other (e-mail and news) via uucp.
Under no circumstances should anyone expect privacy of their postings. They will be archived and they will be viewable, these days, by "google" search engines. If you don't want your posting to be extremely public, do not post, just lurk.
Expectation of privacy has never been there on public lists, for as long as I can remember.
