Prior to the eGroups change last weekend, people who were not members of the list could post anyway. This was apparently good for people that did not want barrels of email coming in at work, but read the list on the web and still wanted to post. This function is now gone. SO - here's a suggestion. If you want to be able to post to the list, but not get the email, you should subscribe and immediately go to the eGroups web page and change your subscription to read-on-the-web (i.e. no email ) mode.
