Monitor the list does not mean read each and every message.
Set it up so that it goes through procmail.
filter for words like "policy", "announcement", "changes"
etc, and seperate those from the rest of the list. Read
those messages. Really good procmail users could write a filter
that scores e-mail, on the basis of how likely it is to be
a major, or minor policy statement.
I'll also point out that I know of at least one listowner who
doesn't read any posts made to the mailing list s/he runs.
But let the hint of a flame fest come up, and the flamers
are warned.
