Of course private communication is not the only use for e-mail. Of course the content of the messages sent to those mailing lists is public knowledge. But the issue is not about You and Your mailing lists. It's about all possible uses of e-mail. You certainly don't imagine that everyone is using Gmail only for mailing lists, do You? You don't imagine that everyone has caught on to the fact that e-mail has always been an insecure method of communicating, do You? Not everyone has a CISSP.
