I believe it *should* require at least a minimal extra effort to post to
a mailing list. After all, you're sending mail to anywhere from dozens
to thousands of people, so you should at the very least stop and think
about what you're doing long enough to be able to get the To/Cc headers
right.
Likewise and moreso for things such as trimming quoted material,
proofreading, and using meaningful subject lines. Saving a few seconds
for the poster while requiring a few extra seconds per recpient is not
the right equilibrium.
