It is anonymous, but it is not too many steps from someone making the

Thanks again.  Since I am lazy and the list will be very seldom used
anyway, I think I will just delete my address from
accept_these_nonmembers except temporarily when there needs to be an
announcement.  But it is nice to at least know about "the right way".
