Without saying my opinion (which is ambivalent, because I use
spamassassin and often don't see the spam coming through) I'd like to
make a point that a poll on this list will only get responses from
members of the list. A non-regular poster will of course probably not
speak up now to keep the list open.
I am on a lot of mailing lists, I filter with procmal, scan with
spamassassin and my email address is on so many webpages, I don't need
to protect it anymore.
But a casual poster might just look for an answer to a single question
and might not want to follow all the discusscions on the list by
subscription. That's a reason for keeping this list open. It may not
be a strong one though, but might probably be stronger for LAU actually.
Just my 2 cent thingie enlargement.
ciao
