We want to expand our >readership, if possible, not restrict it too much. That wouldn't be about readers - it would be about posters. The interesting question here is how mucb mail the lists get from unsubscribed readers. If that is a small amount of the total mail, it might be feasible to forward it to somebody for approval before final posting; the approval should probably also include the option of approving the e-mail address posting. But these are extreme measures (they create more work for somebody), and shouldn't be used until it is nescessary (somebody feel like volunteering). Eivind.
