That's true: I wasn't thinking of the possibility that Virginia's 
mailing list system might allow people to be subscribed without open 
posting privileges.  That's more straightforward technically except that 
it requires that David manually add and remove addresses for those who 
want to follow the discussion.

As Martin points out, the list is already archived by Virginia. 
Christian wants a push solution rather than the current pull solution, 
which requires him to visit the webpage and browse for new messages.
