OK, thanks for the reminder. I think I remember seeing something about
this in the docs, now that I'm thinking about it. Duh.

OK, great. Yeah, it's the former.

Subscriptions aren't moderated, so no big deal. However, I noticed that
posting to the list seems to have stopped working since I removed all
those files. Is this a side-effect of "corrupting" the pending.pck
and/or config.pck files And would removing them to create new empty ones
"fix" this problem?
