Hi Yagnesh,

Yes you can do this.  That is how I am set up.  I read the list through
gmane (and Gnus) and am subscribed and set up to not receive email from
the list.  This allows posts by me to get to the list without requiring
moderation and I get to read the list the way that is most convenient
for me.

When someone does reply-all which includes my email address I get a copy
of that mail in my inbox and I'll definitely notice it and respond.
Posts intended for me but just sent only to the list may not be read for
long periods of time (read: days) so the author may not get a timely
response.

HTH,
Bernt
