Reminds me of those people I know that tell me, "I have a telephone, but
I never answer it," though they expect anyone that they call to answer
theirs.

It's a seriously flawed approach.  How does someone new contact you?  Or
someone who's had to change addresses.  They can't, they can't even
arrange to contact you.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
