Even if the list is restricted to members only, isn't there some mechanism to cull out probably admin requests and forward them to the list administrator?

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....
