Adding him as a CC won't automatically have other people's replies copied 
to him. Most people here do reply to list. (Or for the lists that mung 
the reply-to header, just reply. I forget whether this particular list 
does reply-to munging, as I strip those headers.) So likely further 
replies in a thread wouldn't copy him. Also when he replies his messages 
would either be held for moderation or rejected. (Again depending on the 
particular list.)

So to participate effectively he would want to subscribe. He can always 
unsubscribe later.
