In a previous post, I'd alluded to the existance of public-accessible
archives being a catalyst for new memberships. A non-member who can read the
posts is free to comment on them to the respective authors (again, hinging
on the availability of the author's email address). External interest in
the list can be judged, then, and those parties can be invited. Too much
open--bad, read-only-list/archive open--good.
And what, in that case, do we do about those who do not wish to publicize
their email addresses? Still thinking for an elegant solution to that.
