I like it.
However. It ain't enough.
I agree with the rest that it would be better if our email addresses
weren't so obvious in the archives.
I also don't think I like the instructions at:

I'm OK with that. I might also suggest an alternative; put a link on
the website to a dedicated "offers" address that propagates immediately
to the web-page. That would exempt prospective donors from whatever
filtering we do on the list. Interested members could check that page.

My favorite list software is ezmlm, but it's qmail-only (barf). As I
said last week, I'll do anything I can to help with any solution you
choose.
