        No, but there are ways to have every member of the list as an
editor.  This DOES cause problems, if I recall, it means that the
individual post limits become invalid.  A lot of features are mutualy
exclusive and they do not need to be (except maybe because of a programing
issue).  If you only want posts from members on your list you can put
send=private,hold.  The hold simply tells listserv to keep a message for
ok confirmation.  If you wish non-subscribers to post to the list through
you, you can do so with send=editor,hold.

        Well there are hundreds if not thousands of mail readers out
there, and I must say that what you say about resesding being faster MAY
apply to your mailreader, and it may even apply to mine, but I certian
that there are mailreaders that DO implement (correctly), ressending that
it is really complecated to resend the message.  It is quicker (number of
keystrokes wise), for me to use ok, it is ``rnok`ctl-x'y'' versus
