At the risk of overloading this thread with Australians, I subscribed a couple of weeks ago to this list (nothing special about the UK though, I subscribed to most of the English-language regional lists to keep abreast of what's going on globally GLAM-wise), with no problems. So anyone who might be interested could potentially come here, although I'm sure this statement will be of interest beyond just the subscribers to this mailing list.
Cheers, Craig Franklin

It says: "This is a private list, which means that the list of members is not available to non-members."
That is a very specific meaning of "private". It only refers to the list of members and, since anyone can subscribe and then see the list, it really isn't very private at all. (I don't know why the list is private - it should be made public since there is no purpose served by having it be private.)
