Thorsten,

I think this part of your note is easily remedied.

I have no problem with:

1) changing FAB to open subscription with confirmation
2) putting the current "read only" folks onto the full list, since (1) 
obviates the need for f-a-b-readonly
3) re-messaging the purpose of FAB, and also the new subscription policy

The people who are most active on the list will still be, and it will 
likely get some other good people talking.

I'll make these changes once I'm back to Raleigh, and we'll see how it 
goes.

Hope everyone has a happy new year.
