Though we might need to go to closed lists, there's one problem I see with
them. If someone cross-posts a message to lists I'm on and ones I'm not
on, my reply can only go to the one(s) I'm on. We can get a real
disjointed thread this way.

A solution might be that if you're subscribed to ANY NetBSD mailing list,
you can post to all of them. You just get messages from the one(s) you're
on.

Take care,
