Couple of things to check ---

1. W3C has an 'archive approval' system, http://www.w3.org/2002/09/aa/
to ensure that people aren't suprised when their messages end up
archived for all time on lists.w3.org. If the messages have multiple
recipients, they might be generating replies via the other lists or
cc:'d parties, and hence getting quoted that way even if not yet
distributed through the main channel. People whose mails don't seem to
be getting distributed should check for a missed message from the
archive approval bot; see link above for the likely shape of that
message (ie. from: W3C List Manager, etc).

2. Check the public list archives to be completely clear about which
messages have gotten distributed through this list --- ie.
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lld/2010Jul/  ... if it's
not there, chances are the replies/quotes came via a Cc:

Hope this helps,
