Kurt, 

   My understanding is that SCN's policy is that the hardware
list is set up to accept postings from anyone, even though
membership in the list is restricted. This is in order to offer
better response to system problems, and become aware sooner of
troubles that users are having.

   This is (or should be) true of most or all SCN Association
lists, but is not the case for lists for Information Providers,
which are set up by default to reject messages from anyone who's
not subscribed.
