None of our lists are subscriber only.  All lists can be posted to by
whomever.  I think honestly that this is the only open source project done 
like
that.  I really don't know of anyone else like this.

Being a subscriber helps though in getting a response:-)  Not everyone,
does a Reply all.  I know it's rare that I will.  I figure if someone is so 
interested in the topic that they will subscribe; otherwise they are just 
sending a note in.  Of course it's different if someone asks to be 
forwarded a message.

Roger Wilco:-)  Will do.  Been thinking that anyhow since we have a big 
write up for FORUM but not the others.  I think it's a Good idea.  Don't 
know about the footer.  I currently don't have mail administrator 
privileges but I'll forward this to [email protected] as there are 
people there that do.
