That's not how mailing lists generally work and if this one is setup

I've been a member of quite a few lists over my 20+ years on the net
and
all lists I've ever been on required you to be a member to be able to
post to it.
Are these the lists of the cabals, the elite and the brotherhoods? ;)
Uh? I take it that's an attempt at humour? Anyway, I see no problem with
requiring posters to be members.
Over my probably several years shorter time on the net I've encountered both a
member requirement and anything goes, and some in between, which might be a
good compromise for the get_iPlayer list if the admins/moderators can tolerate
the slight extra workload--emails from non-members go to the moderation queue,
to be decided by a moderator whether it gets posted (Mailman supports this).
I'm not on any lists that moderate, although I'm a moderator on a Yahoo
Group where we moderate new members, so if a list can accept moderation
that's fine.
