Re: Reason for current policy, was Re: [linux-audio-dev] Should the list be members-only?

Hallo, Paul Winkler hat gesagt: // Paul Winkler wrote: [...] 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 -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
