Some random ideas: 1) Open subscription, but people who aren't members of the working group have their postings go through a moderator. 2) Open subscription, but it's very easy to get kicked off the list, to keep things tightly focused. 3) Each working-group list is mirrored by a non-working-group list. Anyone can post to the non-WG list, and the WG members don't have any responsibility to read it. If a WG member sees something good in the non-WG list, s/he can forward it to the WG list. -- Matthew Cline | Suppose you were an idiot.
