Quoting Tim Peters <tim.one@comcast.net>:

I'm the list admin for zodb-dev, and don't have a preference. If you do, and it's strong enough to scream it, shout. The loudest screamer will win <wink>. By default, I won't change the current policy (anyone can post here, member or not).

As the person who brough it up recently, I _have_ to scream for a +1 ;) Notes: - People can leave and enjoy their life even if the list is not members-only - But it's better to do that because we receive less spams and - Because we (wrongly) think spammers will have a harder life if we change to a members-only list - So YES ! Cheers, Mohsen,
