Re: NFC: Votes



My won opinion: Close the lists.  This is good for two reasons, though it
has negative reasons.  I'll discuss both:  First off, it cuts down on
SPAM.  We don't get/see any SPAM on the NFC list, and trust me -- you
would if it wasn't post restricted (I average 2 Non member bounces from
spam a day.)  Second, a slightly better reason.  When JoeBlow posts a post
that belongs on the list, without being a member, we can give tehm
subscription instructions, and everyone knows, therefore they're sure to
get a reply directly.  
The bad reasons are that its more work for the list admin -- which happens
to be me. :)  It creates 2 mails for every nonmember post.  Secondly, if
the listadmin doesn't check his mail frequently, nonmember posts will
never get thru.  But, I think the good outweighs both.  

As to a header... they're fine and grand when you're getting the word NFC:
stuck before teh subject.  But... Predators: THis is a really long line
gets kinda long.  However, it really does help sort out the mail. . . .  

ANyone else have input on any bits of these, please e-mail them out..
either to me or the list.
