Joe, Nice job, good tool!
I did test the posting facility in gmane and tried out what happens if a non subscriber to the list uses this facility by using an address that is different from the one I am known by in the list. In five minutes I received a message: Gmane: This is a non-public mailing list, which means that you have to subscribe to the list to post to it. If you're already subscribed to the list, Gmane can forward this message to the list if you respond to this message. If not, you should sign up to the mailing list first, and then respond to this message, or just forget about it. ---- I think this is exactly the behavior that we want. Another nice feature of gmane is that in the same roll down menu, the item 'information' provides the info needed to subscribe.
