There is still another option: "d) Other" :-) Many cuban users are not able to browse the web (they have Internet but only e-mail access, no web browsing) so if that is the case, he cannot review the mailing list posts using web archives and if he is not receiving e-mails coming from external users (non *.cu addresses), he is then stuck. But I'm just guessing, true is that in the Spanish mailing list there are some posts coming from him, but *not* replies.
