Very +1 indeed. I am constantly frustrated by the fact I get messages that are validly cross-posted yet to which I cannot reply and where if I do reply the date and time they finally get posted is indeterminate.

You need to either a) subscribe to the list in question or b) complain to the owner/moderator of the list to moderate in a more timely fashion as I am often the one flushing the queues 2 - 3 times per day for over 300 lists and, really, I do have better things to do. I'd be delighted to have the people who cling so dearly to this role actually do the job.

I'd figured that out, thanks. The alternative, plan B, which is what John was indicating and with which I was agreeing, is that the whole system needs a rethink so that, for example, people with CC grants (an indication that their role extends beyond any single activity) are automatically able to post to any list.

Or some other alternative, I'm not trying to design at this point. I just don't want to have to subscribe to/intervene on every list on OpenSolaris.org so that I can freely post to any list on the odd occasion it's necessary. John has done a great job of deriving a set of very valid requirements from the issues raised. How do we go about getting them addressed?
