​Thanks, Ben for the much more complete response.   One of the reasons I
like NOPOST for announcement lists is that I have a number of lists where
the owners are subscription maintainers and are not configuration-owners.​
Besides, those lists do not exist for a list owner or site admin to post.
Having a post from the Listserv site admin, inadvertent or intentional
would be "bad", unless authorized (in a political sense).

On the other hand, I don't think you are suggesting that being an owner or
site admin gives one the (Listserv) authority to post. At least that's my
hope and expectation.  My email (as site admin) to new owners suggests
adding subscriptions for posters (unless posting is open to a wider
audience) and owners, as it's not obvious to some that one can be an owner
without being a subscriber.

​Thanks, Wayne​
