Ben,
That would be a good idea (and I support that move), but their point was
"agree before you join",  you would need to modify and include the
charter in the subscribe confirmation request, in the email, not just on
mailman, as many use "reply to" to confirm, not just go to the link, you
need to link to the charter saying by subscribing you agree blah blah
blah, but again who reads those things, we all know what mailing list
requests expect and just reply or click, honestly, who read the rest of
the blurb, likely no one :)
