To make sure that you and I are seeing things in the same light, one 
cannot be a "member[s] of this list[s]" unless you subscribe to 
this/these [Ubuntu] list[s] and are accepted as a subscriber.

You cannot suddenly post to this list, for example, unless you first 
subscribe to it.

This list is a not a *public* list such as a Usenet newsgroup.

When you subscribe to this mail list you are (may be) given permission 
to access this list, which is also moderated by someone like Alan Pope.

This list has rules to be followed, unlike the Usenet newsgroups.

And in any case, I see no connection with what is happening here with 
what "the U.S. govt [is] trying to force its laws....". Can you see some 
connection between the two situations which I fail to see?
