This is just a pissed off list subscriber who considers you very inconsiderate.

While thelist does not have a policy against "test" emails[1] the same
rules apply:
http://www.css-discuss.org/policies.html

# If you suddenly stop receiving list mail, do not post a "test"
message. Either one of two things has happened: your account was
disabled for bounces, or the list itself is down. You can check the
first case by logging into your account and looking around—there will
be big red-on-yellow text if your account has been disabled. In the
second case, you'll do no good by posting, and look foolish when the
list does come back up.

# If it's taking a long time for your post to show up, wait. When
traffic flows are heavy and the server gets overtaxed, it can be a few
hours before your message gets processed and sent out to everyone. On
the other hand, if you can see from the timestamps that people who
posted after you have had their messages go out, something else may be
wrong. Wait a while longer, and then contact the list administrators.
Do not post a "test" message to the list. It will either have no
effect, or make you look foolish.
