I suggest that we wait until this actually happens :) I understand your 
point, and I plan to be careful about it. This is why lyx-users is the 
last of our lists that I reconfigure.

What I really wanted was to apply the anti-spam filter only to 
non-subscriber, but mailman does not allow for that as I understand it.

The upside is to try to be more welcoming to new users. It is not like 
we have too many users, do we? As in my answer above, I agree that we 
shall reconsider if things become unpleasant.
