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?

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?)

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.
