1. I "second" Mike's suggestion. Members' only posting.

2. To take it a step further so we don't require people to have to forward
stuff, why not just set up an "anonymous" account (with a "shifty" uid) on
toad.com? That account wouldn't allow logins, but would autoforward anything
sent to it to the list.

All that need be done is (automatically) keep the list subscribership
apprised of what the "userid-of-the-week" is so anyone who wants/needs to
post anonymously just needs to know the current forwarding address.

Is that's too complicated, then revert to "1" and I'll also help.
