  I am surprised number 2 is not already done. Jumping through 
  hoops to join, and joining in order to participate is the 
  norm for other lists. While Randall mentioned the down side 
  of this being that outsiders cannot post a timely event, how 
  often does that happen? And for those who manage two email 
  addresses, they are probably computer savvy enough to 
  register both email addresses.
