I agree with Jay. I'd hate to have to respond to an e-mail ping every
so often just to continue reading the list.
On the other hand, I wouldn't mind terribly if I got placed on
"moderated" status (i.e. had to go through a verification step in
order to *post* to the list) if I were either (a) new to the list, or
(b) hadn't posted in a while.
As an alternative, Maybe we should point people who only want to
read the list to a link to an email archive/aggregator and tell them
to search there if they want answers and only to subscribe/resubscribe
if they actively want to post.
Because this penalizes people who want direct delivery.
I don't know about you, but I have spent a lot of time tweaking my
filters here to get mail delivered to me the way I want it. Trudging
through someone else's archive is out of the question.
+1 for moderated posting status after <x> days, -100000 for all of the
other suggestions that will cause me to jump through hoops to stay
subscribed.
