Our initial intent was to be new-user friendly, but maybe in today's day and age, automatically bouncing non-members is acceptable. A year or two ago it was less acceptable, but the spam problem continues to intensify and hopefully most people would understand. We have a new volunteer to try out moderator duties so we'll see how it goes.
