As an outsider to the list, how do I know what your policy will be

so my experience is that member only lists aren't willing to listen
to something I have to say unless I make the effort to sign up and
have yet another folder accumulating unread messages". I don't.
Well, ok - maybe I do here since I've let myself be dragged in to
the debate. Oops.
I get the same information from both project websites: "moderated
for non-members, public archives" - no way of knowing that ALSA
will accept me informing them of something they would be interested
without committing to reading or bit-bucketing their list.
The alternative is to subscribe just long enough to send something
and then unsubscribe again.... or cold-email a member and ask them
to pass a message along. Or post and hope it doesn't get rejected,
not even knowing for a day or so.
