Yes, Ron, I'm afraid it is exactly what you're doing:

You have asserted in public, in writing, that you own the copyright (along
with the author) to everything ever posted to the Vanagon list. You have
also asserted that you may sell copies of those messages, for your sole
profit (not the author's), if you so please, without permission of the
authors.

Whether you intend to spend the money on the list server (or whatever) is
irrelevant--if you spent the money on beer and cigarettes it would have no
bearing on your claim to the rights to the work.
