> Should this list become closed to members only?
The main list should never be closed like that, since it's the one we
advertise for general help, which is what these people are doing. The
developer's list is closed (mail from subscribers only) to prevent it
from being used as a general purpose list, but the general purpose one
should be open. If people are asking for help, making them junp
through hoops to do so is a bad idea.
A good idea, if someone wants to try to tackle it, is to write some
software that monitors the list and attempts to send private mail to
people who post obviously FAQ questions. Or, detect that someone is
posting who hasn't posted yet (or in the last N months) and send them
a private mini-faq telling them where to get online information.
