I wouldn't, but that would be my policy, yes. OTOH, no one pays me to
run mailing lists.

Again, it's the same thing: have the mechanism (I'm not even sure
*which* mechanism(s) you're talking about now), let $foo decide the
policy, where $foo iterates over the list of users.

Of course, that causes one person's miscalculation to be another
person's (times n) headache. Networks are like that.
