Open posting is *good*. Yes, I get spam because of it,
Just from the viewpoint of an average Joe, who has no experience running
email lists, I DESPISE, HATE, DETEST having to subscribe to a list just
to ask a quick question. Many times I've looked for answers to various
issues, ranging from Debian issues to Windows to Maytag washer repair
issues, and have come upon the "To submit your question, you must
register first."
Arghghghgh!!! NO! NO NO NO!! I DO NOT WANT TO REGISTER!! JUST LET ME ASK
MY QUESTION AND GET ON WITH LIFE!!
(Apologies for the screaming.)
Steve, you may have very good points, and your logic may be flawless.
But I hate having to register to post on an email list. As far as I'm
concerned, Debian-User does it right. "Open posting is [indeed] *good*."
