Yes, but the point (I think) is that Nathan wants something explicitly linked against posting versus subscribing or other generic list activity. "You are posting to the list and you've not done that before. Please realise that by posting your message will be archived for posterity and the purposes of blackmail and public embarrassment and there won't be a damn thing you can do about it. Do you really want to post to this list?" Nathan has already stated he's interested in some of the legal CYA, and for that (I expect) he needs an explicit decision at the time of first post, not first subscribe. Note; With an integrated TMDA setup such as I'm doing (versus TMDA-like features in Mailman) this is fairly simple to accomplish. You just don't point TMDA at your Mailman configs as a source of valid email addresses. > BTW, cooler heads have prevailed.
