Yes, it is. From the instructions for joining the list:

http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/robyn/relevance/list_instruct.htm

"Once you have subscribed, please send a message introducing yourself
to the other members of the list, telling them about your research
interests and the role of Relevance Theory in your work."

It probably takes a bit of courage to contribute right away (I'm
pretty sure that I didn't). I don't think that there's anything wrong
with lurking for a while, but it would be good to hear from new list
members either right away or once they are comfortable with posting.
