I'm still catching up on email, so someone may have already pointed this
out, but you're incorrect. This list is quasi-public. Non-subscribers
can post, but they're moderated (pre-screened) first. Subscriber posts
are unmoderated. (I discovered this when I tried to post and my reply-to
address didn't match my subscriber address.) Personally, I find this
odd, since I don't know how a non-member poster will receive a reply to
a question, but that's what the automated reply said when I did post as
a non-member. If this is incorrect, then the automated reply should be
updated to reflect the change of policy.
