Correct.

Agreed, it's not perfect, but IMO, it would be unethical (and therefore it
is simply not an option) to ever publish messages here from anyone who has
not gone through the news posting setup and explicitly said they understand
all the legal rigamarole -- publishing of their name, their content, etc.
An alternative to completely ignoring messages might be to hold someone's
messages in some sort of waiting queue (with maybe a 1 week timeout before
deleting them), and retroactively inject those messages later -- if & when
they ever decide through the Setup process.

| (...) After thinking for a bit, I think I would feel okay about this if you could conspire with the list owner to explain all of this in the info-message for the list. I just don't want people to be surprised by it. (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
