Explanation of Listserv Downtime

[Tony Hammitt]

If we go to having members-only access to the list, what will happen
to those people that aren't members or have several email addresses
and want to post to the list?  Can we have another list for these
people to send to and then someone could post to the real list if it
isn't spam?  Is that possible?

Just some thoughts...
