chris, you have nothing to apoligize for:

1. you were trying to do something nice for the LUG, which i'm sure is appreciated by our members.

2. you noticed a technical problem and reported it, which is exactly what you or any other member should do when finding something askew.

there was a bit of a foul-up on the steering@ mailing list access controls, which will be cleared up shortly. in the meantime, let's refrain from ad hominem attacks and remember that we're all on the same (open source) team.

First let me apologize for initiating this thread.

Second, let me suggest that that the auto-reply from the list address
give the user a little better idea of what is going on.  Either a mailman
bounce OR a mailman "your message has been held" message is likely to
imply that this is not really the right place to send the message. The next guy's next step, like mine, will be to post here...which will inevitably kick
off the same sh!t-storm we have just witnessed.

Maybe a simple form on the page that bypasses mailman sends the message
directly to the SC members might be appropriate?

Anyway, just a suggestion.  And my apologies for this thread, again.
Chris
