Hey! Hmmmmm, let me think about this... Yes, I think this will work!
Oh... wait...
How would this work in conjunction with the new functionality provided
by this patch:

Would I be able to set up a 'vendors' list, that just acts as a
container for all of the vendors, set each members options as you
described above, then put this list name in the other lists
'accept_these_nonmembers' field, and have it 'just work'?
Remember, the 'vendors' list will not be a functioning list - the
members of that list will be posting to one of two other lists, each of
which expands to about 4 lists total internally - my lists are nested,
by the way - some contain only other lists as members, some contain a
mix of lists and individual members.
Thanks for the suggestion! I hope it will work as you described...
