I think we're in agreement.  All I'm suggesting is that there's no _a
priori_ way of knowing whether someone is participating, except by
looking at the lists.  Therefore, we can't dismiss postings from
people we don't know on the grounds we don't know them.  This means
that those "driving by" have to be tolerated, I think.
