The chapter isn't stopping anyone else using the list. WMUK is not the
UK community, but it is part of the UK community and therefore has the
same right to use this list as any other part of the UK community.

By virtue of being very active the chapter may be stifling non-chapter chat.

I don't think that is the case. But it is important to self-critique that scenario a check.

I've been a member of many communities and my observation of them is this; it is very easy to have a perspective bias on things.
