But they have to know it, they have to get it themselves, for themselves.
The password isn't for the list, it is for an address (hopefully the same
as the subscriber's subscribed list address), for a LISTSERV site.
Each subscriber has to register his own password.  How can he not know it?

Memeber name and number.  That doesn't sound like LISTSERV, but like your
creation.  Yes, I can understand how there could be some confusion there,
but that is caused, I think higly likely, because LISTSERV does things
a particular way, which doesn't have to do with "member numbers".

If the list is "private", why do you need a "members only" area with
member numbers?  I suspect that this is a website other than that where
the archives reside.  Is that correct?
