I think he means they are having to go through hundreds of garbage

Seriously, David's suggestion would make it easier to manage the list,
at the small price of requiring an extra step from occasional
non-members who want to send email to the list.
My suggestion was to reduce the collateral damage caused by hijacking

non-members who sends a one-off email to the list woud never know that
it had been received unless he specifically examined the online
archives. For that reason, I now think it would be unsuitable.
