   Exactly.  This is the part of manual that confused me at first and
perhaps confused you, Alan.  When the manual says that when posting to a
Super-list listserv takes all the membership of the sub-lists and adds
them, it only does so to deliver mail.  Listserv doesn't run any check of
subscription options and say, "oh, this person posting is a member of a
sub-list, so I will let them post to the super-list to reply".  In other
words, listserv doesn't attribute subscribership to the super-list based
on subscribership to any given sub-list.  So, as Pete says, you need all
the "Send=" pointing to your sub-lists.
