My recollection is: this issue (that freebsd.org mail lists, or at least 
freebsd-questions at freebsd.org list are/is NOT subscribers only list) is 
being beaten to death every so often. I once asked to make them 
subscribers only. The answer was: solid NO. And since that time (which 
was about a year or two ago), couple of more people asked, and got the 
same answer.

So, if you still have that moderation email, I'd like to see it, as the 
reason might be different than posting to "subscribers only" list. No 
offense, I bet you remember correctly, and I might be wrong, and we 
indeed may have a good news (IMHO) that lists changed to "subscribers 
only"...
