Hi,

I've been thinking about changing the gnucash-user mailing-list=20
posting policy from "subscribers-only" to "anyone".   Anyone
care to express an opinion?

Advantages:
Non-subscribers will be able to post.  This means that more people
who have questions might be able to get answers.  Thus, hopefully,
the community of satisfied gnucash user will grow.

Disadvantages:=20=20
Everyone will get get mountains of spam, which, however, will be
tagged as "SPAM", and thus should be easy to mail-filter.

This proposal applies to gnucash-users only.  The devel list would
still require subscription (since its more discussion oriented).

Alternate proposal:  create a 'gnucash-discuss' list with closed
subscription, and 'gnucash-help' with open posting policy.
