One of my lists just got a *second* posting of the junk mail.  I hope it
was some kind of system glitch rather than an indication that we're all
going to see it again.
 
In spite of that kind of mass mailing, which is really rather rare, I see
various advantages of SEND=PUBLIC.  The two most obvious to me are that
many poeple, some of whom are regular contributors, read list mail
on local redistribution or via usenet.  The usenet readers could, of
course, reply via usenet, but most of them mail to the list instead since
that's a more efficient way to participate in a list discussion gatewayed
to usenet.
