I wasn't the one who sent up the lists so I never looked closely at
the mechanism.  Inspecting the headers, yes, the sub-lists are
subscribed to the super-list and the all lists have

   Send= Owner, (super-list), (sub-list), (sub-list), ...

so that a member of any list can post to any other list.  I think
it's time for me to research the official "Sub-list" feature and see
if it will work for me.

As the lists are currently configured, it looks like the sub-list
will add a "sub-banner" and then post the message to the super-list
which will add it's own banner -- yuk<g>.
