Private and Editor are conflicting options.

Because the list > probably receives more spam attempts than non-subscriber post attempts (I > don't have recent data because the list has been set to "Send= Private" for > years), I think I'll leave "Private" in place. Using Send= Private rejects all non-subscribers posts. Send= Editor sends all non-subscribers posts to the moderator for approval, unless NoPost is a Default-Option. Due to all the spam these days, many Owners are shying away from Send=Editor and using other options.
