Is [log in to unmask] an owner of that 
bod-candidates-open-forum list? It looks like this list is coded with 
"Send= Owner" but a portion of the list's header is hidden from view, 
so I cannot tell if you have  another "Send=" keyword in the hidden 
part that opens up the list to posting by non-owners or who owns this 
list.
