I think one of three things happen:

1) Most common, people simply respond without reading all the posts.
2) Occasionally, it takes time for whatever reason for the message to get from the server to people's inboxes.  This is more common on yahoogroups, but can happen almost anywhere (one time, as a moderator, I had a "kill the thread" message delayed nearly 12 hours, and a lot of people chimed in before they got the message).  Some folks got it right away, others didn't (I was one of the others, so there is some objective reality to this theory).
3) Not that anyone would actually do this, but I've heard tell on some lists that people will actually ignore the moderator's instructions and post anyway, feigning ignorance, as an opportunity to get in the last word...
