I don't think there is a universally correct answer to the implied question posed here, but a lot of personal preference. FWIW, the dev list and other lists that needed closer interaction with the developers back in the day were setup to be 'default-open' - i.e. people could simply post their question there, or being Cc-ed on mails and answer without being moderated. This has served the developer community well over the years, ridding us of one more barrier to entry. Admittedly it puts some burden on moderators and permits the occasional spam message to slip through - I believe though that we have that well under control on the dev list. Pending moderator approval on this list, I can happily clone the dev list setup for this list. All the best, -- Thorsten
