What are the
BENEFITS of having open posting?
Being able to post from a different account when
you're away from your own
computer? Not a very good reason. Otherwise, none.
I don't think that I would want to post from an account where I wasn't
also able to READ. Otherwise, how would you get the answers to
questions? Or Richard's comments?
How often do
we get non-subscribers posting about stuff to rescue?
Not enough to put up with
spam.
If somebody had time on their hands, non-subscriber submissions could be
redirected to somebody willing to filter them and forward to the list (and
be able to get first grabs?)
You must have. It went to the list. Unless you have
some sort of spam
filtering on?
Not on this domain. I don't want to turn away customers until
after I
meet them. So, I must have gotten it and deleted it without ever noticing
it! Conditioned reflex? Or maybe I thought that it was further stuff
about BNCs from certain people.
