It's like allowing people to LOOK at your car without being let
inside. Of course only members should be allowed to POST to the list.

Don't get your dander up Piotr. The appropriate changes have been
made and now everyone can LOOK at the car, throw eggs at the car,
scratch it, dent it with a sledge hammer etc. but the doors remain
locked with packages hidden in the trunk. Let me know if there is
anything else amiss. Oh, by the way, let me know if anyone decides
to tow the car.
