I think that membership should not require explicit approval, but pre-moderation of the first few posts would be reasonable. Inability to post-moderate is a problem, but that needs new software.
It would be interesting to find out why this list is so much less active and useful than it was; I get the impression most of the drama and foolishness has been transferred to the wiki, which is not necessarily good.
