This part has long been known.  :-)  But the list is still OPEN
and PUBLIC because being admitted only requires a valid USERID.

It doesn't take a genius to created a Yahoo USERID (I think anyone
can have 5 different ones), subsribe to a LIST and post something
from it.

Even someone who knows less than Chuck about LISTS and postings,
(I can't think of many who know less than Chuck though) can do so
easily.  ;-)
