This debate comes up every year or so.
I can convert the listserv to be members-only if wanted, anyone opposed?
The typical counterargument is that it is a barrier to new members (such as
the people who hear about the LUG at the FLF and so on).
i don't think that's a strong argument anymore. It's trivial to subscribe
and be a member, takes a few minutes of following a majordomo signup. Almost
all newsletters i subscribe:
- do this
- have spam (but fairly mild compared to my normal spam box)
so go figure....
