Re: Policy for posts from non-members

[Andrew Bernard]

Dear me, mailing lists have been around for half as century or more. If 
people do not understand that it is normal to subscribe to a list to 
participate there's something wrong. Just reject the posts. That's very 
standard, and that is why the list software supports that option. Jean 
you already spend a huge amount of time helping people on the list, the 
administrivia of dealing with people who can't be bothered to spend a 
minute to sign up is not worth your time. If you don't make this change 
you will just be doing this useless task forever.

[Of course the moment I post people will provide proof of lists that do 
not need joining, but seriously, most lists do. Also, services such as 
Reddit require registration. It's a very basic concept.]
