Hi all.

Maybe another idea (not sure if this has been discussed before).
Is it possible to let a subscriber of one list to do posting and all lists? This
will still limit the posting ability to members but you will not have to be a
member of all the lists you want to post in.
Like I said, I'm not sure if it has been discussed earlier. If so...sorry for my
spam :-).

ciao.
