Yeah I already get hundreds.. They all get filed away but I would prefer
not to have to do crap filtering on the list if possible :)

I think you misunderstood me :)

I said it is possible to unsubscribe people later on if the list becomes
popular and it is decided that having a members only section would be a
good idea (ie if it was large enough).

It is my feeling that if the list grows then membership would grow but I
don't have any hard evidence.

I don't see a problem with opening the list membership at the moment as
the list itself is basically useless and will continue to do so until a
decent community is on it. Perhaps the people on the list will join AUUG
to get more out of it that just the list too.
