Let me weigh in with my two cents worth: I think the list is just fine as it is. I am prepared to make sure that my postings are either sharing information about an open space or giving out information that others might find useful. I like hearing about the different trainings and events that are available. I am certainly capable of deleting. I am also quite capable of sending a private email when it's appropriate but am not offended if someone sends a private posting to the list by mistake. Stuff happens and whatever happens is the only thing that could!
I think the givens that Birgitt suggested are good ones. I would add another which is that when someone joins the list, it would be great if they could be prompted to introduce themselves and say how they came to be interested in open space. I'm in favour of fewer restrictions than more.
