I agree that you can't protect users from themselves, but you can put
the decision solely in their hands. If they subscribe to a list and then
forget what it is, this becomes their mistake. If a moderator lets it through or
if we let people who aren't subscribed post to the list, it takes the decision
out of the user's hands. I prefer to let each user make their own decision and
then be accountable for it. By requiring subscription and email confirmation,
you can be certain that at some point each user made a conscious decision
to join the list.
btw for the meego-kernel I really want subscriber only. I want people
who post patches to get not just the review comments
on their code, but also on everyone elses code so that they won't make
the same mistakes. I want them to read the announcements
that are made there, etc etc.
If you can't be bothered to subscribe to such a list, I can't be
bothered to read your email/patch ;=-)
